Dear Friends,

This week there are  two interesting papers on the IFIH1 gene and its influence on diabetes and infection. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28553952 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28716935

In addition, a contribution by Hober and his group showing that a combined approach by cell culture plus PCR does improve detection of virus in blood. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28861621

Thanks and best wishes,

Antonio
