Hacking the Cell: Network Intrusion and Exploitation by Adenovirus E1A

ABSTRACT As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses are dependent on their infected hosts for survival. Consequently, viruses are under enormous selective pressure to utilize available cellular components and processes to their own advantage. As most, if not all, cellular activities are regulated...
