The virus hides inside the host\u2019s immune cells in a \u201clatent\u201d state and stably maintains its reservoir. When the levels of toxic molecules such as hydrogen peroxide increase in the host\u2019s cells, leading to a state of increased oxidative stress, the virus gets \u201creactivated\u201d and it emerges from hiding and begins replicating again. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made from vanadium pentoxide nanosheets, the new artificial \u201cnanozymes\u201d developed by the IISc researchers work by mimicking a natural enzyme called glutathione peroxidase that helps reduce oxidative stress levels in the host\u2019s cells, which is required to keep the virus in check, an IISc release said. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
