Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

Polymerase is a viral protein that directs how Ebola virus replicates its genome as it infects new hosts. Drugs that target polymerase could potentially treat Ebola virus infections and save lives.
