Researchers showed that LGP2 binds viral RNA ends and recruits MDA5 molecules to form filament clusters that activate ...

This study sheds light on how two well-known proteins work together to trigger an immune signaling cascade in the presence of viral RNA.

To solve a problem, scientists first need to see it clearly. Whether it’s a virus slipping past the immune system or plaques forming in the brain, visualization is the first step toward finding ...

Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...

“Our analyses show that the historical [human Rhinovirus] A genome represents an extinct lineage closely related to HRV A19 ...

An EHU study indicates that a drug already approved for use in humans could help to reduce the inflammation associated with celiac disease. The research, conducted by the FunImmune group, shows that ...

Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...

Background: Toys in pediatric office waiting rooms may be fomites for transmission of viruses. Methods: Eighteen samples were taken from office objects on 3 occasions. Samples were tested for presence ...

A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been developed by researchers at UConn Health. Published in Nature Communications, ...
