A new study from the lab of Melody Li at UCLA explores how viruses have shaped the evolution of the human ZAP protein, a key component of our immune defense.

By using evolutionary selection analysis, the team identified a mutation that could dramatically improve ZAP's ability to fight off viruses. The findings could inform strategies for developing more effective antiviral therapies.
