Rhinovirus triggers distinct host responses through differential engagement of epithelial innate immune signaling
Wang B, Amat J, Mihaylova V, Kong Y, Wang G, Foxman E. Rhinovirus triggers distinct host responses through differential engagement of epithelial innate immune signaling. 2026, 1: 100001. DOI: 10.1016/j.cpblue.2025.100001.
Peer-Reviewed Original Research
This study investigates how rhinoviruses, common cold viruses, trigger distinct immune responses in nasal cells, identifying interferons as protective and NLRP1 as a target for reducing harmful inflammation.
