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 ...

RNA viruses are renowned for their elegant structure and finely tuned self‐assembly processes, which are critical both for viral life cycles and for potential applications in nanotechnology and ...

The world is absolutely teeming with viruses. The infectious agents are widely considered the most abundant biological entity on Earth. But a full understanding of viruses and the roles they play in ...

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 ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously pack their genetic material - a breakthrough that could help researchers ...
