The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Researchers show how LGP2 binds viral RNA ends, moves along the strand, and helps MDA5 form filaments that amplify antiviral signaling. The findings clarify an early defense step and may inform ...

A new cell-free genomics framework isolates the primary impacts of transcription factors and establishes tuberculosis as a model for understanding how genes are regulated.

The question of how life could have emerged is one of the most long-standing mysteries in science. In a new study, the laboratory of LMU Professor Dieter Braun has uncovered an unexpected form of ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

DNA, which is the molecule responsible for carrying genetic information for our cells, has a lesser-known, simpler cousin called RNA (ribonucleic acid), which is crucial for protein synthesis. However ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...
