"In the silent labs where scientific frontiers are pushed, a hidden drama unfolds. This is the story of Dr. Aris Thorne, a virologist grappling with an unseen menace—a deadly respiratory failure linked to a common virus, LCMV. His investigation, mirroring the groundbreaking work by Shaabani et al., as published in The Journal of Immunology in 2024, revealed a chilling truth: an immune response gone horribly wrong. This is a tale of how a normally protective protein, ISG15, can become a deadly trigger, and how the disruption of an enzyme, USP18, can turn the body’s own defenses into its worst enemy. Like the researchers whose work serves as a chilling backdrop to our story, Dr. Thorne is in a race against time to uncover the secrets of this silent killer before it's too late."
