概括：
     乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 是最严重和最常见的传染病之一。 它通过生物体液传播，攻击肝细胞。 这种疾病的慢性形式会导致严重的并发症，包括肝硬化和肝癌。 对于这种疾病的慢性形式没有有效的治疗方法，只能通过接种疫苗来预防。 在确定了当我们的身体被病毒感染时活跃的关键蛋白质复合物后，一个团队已经破译了这种保护机制的精确功能，为新的治疗靶点开辟了道路。

Summary:
    The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is responsible for one of the most serious and common infectious diseases. Transmitted through biological fluids, it attacks the liver cells. The chronic form of the disease can lead to serious complications, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. There is no effective treatment for the chronic form of the disease, which can only be prevented by vaccination. After identifying a key protein complex that is active when our body is infected by the virus, a team has deciphered the precise functioning of this protective mechanism, opening the way to new therapeutic targets.
