New Clues to Hepatitis B Species Restriction Could Help Build a Novel Model for Studying Infection and Testing Therapies

More than 250 million people worldwide live with chronic hepatitis B (HBV), yet there is still no accessible animal model for studying the disease or testing novel therapies. Researchers have now proven that mouse liver cells can support the formation of the HBV genetic template required for chronic infection, overturning a long-standing view in the field. The study may accelerate the development of a much-needed mouse model for studying HBV's infection processes, host response, and disease progression.
