Title: The parasiteโ€™s parasite: Exploring virophagesโ€™ antiviral strategies in developing current and novel antiviral therapies
Published in the Science and Engineering Journal, this review explores the fascinating world of virophagesโ€”subviral particles that parasitize giant virusesโ€”and how their unique antiviral mechanisms could inspire new therapeutic approaches. From the well-studied Sputnik and Mavirus, the paper delves into how these virophages disrupt viral replication and what this could mean for the future of medicine.
