Scientists discover the Spiderman of our cells, which traps viral genomes in its
In the same way Spiderman shoots his web to ensnarl his enemies, scientists have discovered a way in which our cells defend our bodies from the early stages of viral infection by synthesising a sticky ‘web’ to trap viral genomes.
