A novel RNA encoded by human cytomegalovirus has been shown to efficiently stop cells from dying by interacting with a component of the mitochondrion to protect the cell from stress-induced death. This viral RNA has the potential to prevent neurodegeneration and could treat a number of diseases for examples Parkinson's disease.
