Article Synopsis
- Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) helps control how viruses, especially the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), grow in our cells by affecting important processes in their life cycles.
- Scientists tested some drugs that stop CDK8 to see if they could help fight HCMV, and they found that these drugs made the virus grow much less in cell cultures.
- The research showed that CDK8 is crucial for HCMV's later stages of growth, and using CDK8 inhibitors together with other treatments could work really well against the virus.
