Interleukin-1 β promotes human metapneumovirus replication via activating the cGAS-STING pathway

CONCLUSION: This study found that IL-1β could promote hMPV replication through the cGAS-STING pathway, which has the potential to serve as a candidate to fight against hMPV infection, targeting IL-1β may be an effective new strategy to restrain virus replication.PMID:38431054 | DOI:10.1016/j.virusres.2024.199344
