Since their paper was published, the researchers have continued to look for latently infected cell decay.

New phages were released by burst of the infected cell after lysis of host membranes by a peptidoglycan hydrolase.

Those intestinal cells will then behave like any viral infected cell, and will reproduce the insulin protein.

The enzyme disables a gene responsible for producing a protein involved in the maturation and release of viral particles in an infected cell.

However, the infected cell can protect neighboring cells from getting infected by releasing interferon.
