Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

New research from scientists at the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine and Duke University describes how cellular RNA helps regulate antiviral signaling as part of the immune response ...

Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These ...

For decades, scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years ...

RNA is a central molecule in RNA virus biology, acting not only as a messenger of protein synthesis, but also as a genome. However, viruses encode a limited number of proteins able to interact with ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defence against pathogens like bacteria or viruses. TRIM25 is a protein that is important in the innate immune response against RNA viruses, such ...

The study ties first-trimester Oropouche infection to severe fetal neurodevelopmental anomalies and urges RT-PCR within 2-7 ...

Chronic hepatitis D coinfection affects an estimated 12 million people globally, with higher prevalence in low-income and middle-income countries, especially the African and Western Pacific regions.

A new study has explored the RNA-binding mechanisms of the antiviral protein TRIM25. TRIM25 (green, left) finds its way to the same locations in the cell where a virus (red, middle) replicates. The ...
