Watch a 23-minute webinar exploring how viruses manipulate cellular metabolism for their replication, presented by Dr. Bryan Mounce from Loyola University Chicago. Delve into the fascinating world of viral pathogenesis, focusing on how viruses, as obligate intracellular pathogens, exploit host cells for essential resources like nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids. Learn about the distinct strategies employed by DNA and RNA viruses, with particular emphasis on polyamines and their crucial role in viral replication. Discover how viruses alter cellular metabolic processes, the cellular defense mechanisms against viral hijacking, and potential therapeutic approaches through metabolic targeting. Gain insights into cutting-edge research on virus-host interactions, potential drug targets, and the unique relationship between RNA viruses and cellular metabolism.
