For Five Year Olds

Someone Asked:

Can you explain this to me like I'm 5:
moderate ethanol consumption results in higher levels of antiviral cytokines and an expression profile of microRNAs linked to CD8 T cell differentiation.

person,

Small amounts of alcohol drinking means higher levels of virus attacking cells that split apart, and the measurement of the movement of thousands of genes at once, to create a worldwide picture of cells functions of non-coding genes connected to a kind of white blood cell that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways.
