Infections with
the common cold virus can cause widespread havoc among one's genes.
That's what researchers say. They administered either the human
rhinovirus or a placebo to healthy volunteers. Next, they took scrapings
from the participants' noses at the 8 hour and 48 hour marks. Gene
analysis on the cell scrapings showed little difference at 8 hours, but after
48 hours more than 6,500 genes showed increased or decreased activity in people
who had been infected with the common cold.
