They took a plasmid that contained the IAP element and cultured it with a cell type that didn't normally contain IAPs. They then infected the cells with with the LCMV, and tested for conversion to DNA ...
Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...
A groundbreaking study reveals that human cells initiate self-destruction processes when viruses disrupt RNA production, offering new insights into innate antiviral defenses. Conducted and reported on ...
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 ...
Understanding is crucial, if we are to prevent and treat these viruses effectively.
James Weger-Lucarelli has been awarded a grant to develop easy-to-use tools and techniques that will allow more researchers to study RNA viruses and their mutations. James Weger-Lucarelli has been ...
Image of the pancreas of a mouse with disrupted RNA editing in beta cells, showing massive inflammation destroying an islet of Langerhans. Blue, DNA; Green, insulin-producing beta cells; red, immune ...
Individually tailored RNA or DNA-based molecules are able to reliably fight off viral infections in plants, according to a new study. The researchers were able to fend off a common virus using the new ...
