Newly published work by Dr. Mohammed Aufy titled "Peripheral NK Cell Phenotypic Alteration and Dysfunctional State Post Hepatitis B Subviral Particles Stimulation in CHB Patients: Evading Immune Surveillance" examines how chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection affects natural killer (NK) cells. The study reveals that exposure to Hepatitis B subviral particles (HBVsvp) alters NK cell function, reducing their ability to fight the virus effectively, which may help the virus evade immune detection. Further research could explore therapeutic approaches to restore NK cell function.
