Because of the lack of a robust cell culture system, relatively little is known about the molecular details of the cell entry mechanism for hepatitis C virus (HCV). Recently, we described infectious HCV pseudo-particles (HCVpp) that were generated by...

RNA can simultaneously act both as inf... Read More about Chiral polymerisation and the RNA world.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tedesco, G., & Aickelin, U. Strategic Alert Throttling for Intrusion Detection Systems. Presented at 4th WSEAS International Conference on Information Security

Network intrusion detection systems are themselves becoming targets of attackers.
