An international research team has discovered a critical protein that acts as a 'switch' regulating immune responses to viruses.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic, various new infectious diseases continue to emerge, posing ongoing viral threats that demand robust and sustained immune defenses.

Some viruses have single-stranded or double-stranded RNA genomes that do not involve DNA in their replication, some have RNA genomes that use DNA as a replication intermediate, and some have ...

they can fold back on themselves and make double-stranded RNA—something typically seen only when a cell is infected by a virus. Further experiments revealed that both the drop in proper ...

How do cells detect non-self double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecules? Several 'sensors' of RNA, including Toll-like ... inhibits the replication of diverse viruses, including the invading pathogen.

In the new study, the researchers used RNA silencing, a natural defence mechanism found in plants. When a virus infects a plant, it introduces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is a red flag for ...

A user-friendly software tool based on the kallisto algorithm enables efficient detection and quantification of viral RNA in sequencing data, including unexpected or novel viruses. By targeting ...

KAIST and an international research team have discovered a critical protein that acts as a 'switch' regulating immune ...
