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 ...
Though the majority of RNA viruses don’t infect humans, the group does include famous human pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, influenza and Ebola (pictured). (iStock / Getty Images Plus) The world is ...
Viruses are masters at taking over our cells: They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes ...
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 ...
