Path through JC Polyomavirus attack Cells

After a long study conducted at Brown University that was published in Journal of Virology showed that the JC polyomavirus, is one such virus that causes a disease called PML that leads to fatal degrading of the central nervous system. During this attack it weakens the immune system of a patient. The researchers also found that this virus breaks through 5-HT2 receptors that are neurotransmitter serotonin. This is one troublesome virus. It may affect the patient in real adverse manner and can create hazardous problems. Through this research the team has found the path through this virus is transmitted. With help of it they would be working further to control it so that they can pluck this disease and virus from its roots. According to the lead author Atwood professor at Brown University, “This paper is significant because it re-defines the role that serotonin receptors play in JC Polyomavirus infection. Our initial hypothesis was that these receptors played a direct role in virus binding to cells.”
