RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

"All bacteria have double-stranded DNA, but viruses have different kinds of structure — there are DNA genomes, RNA genomes, double-stranded, single-stranded …" Anantharaman told Live Science.

One of the most prevalent forms of sialic acids is Neu5Ac, which serves as a receptor for some viruses like influenza and as an energy source for enteropathogenic bacteria like Salmonella enterica (S.

How do cells detect non-self double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecules? Several 'sensors' of RNA, including Toll-like ... a PAMP associated with Gram-negative bacteria that is detected by TLR4.

The Argonautes represent a highly conserved gene family that is found in almost all eukaryotes and is even found in bacteria and ... that can use double-stranded (ds)RNA to regulate gene ...

UMD researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.

as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA vaccines and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) therapies. But while health care providers can now successfully develop drugs that use dsRNA to accurately ...
