ROS has an important role in slowing the progression down of viral replication. In contrast, the viral load can lay down a tremendous amount of ROS.

Hey, be my guest.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are well known for being both beneficial and deleterious. The main thrust of this review is to investigate the role of ROS in ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus pathogenesis. Much evidences has accumulated over the past decade, suggesting that patients infected with RNA...
