HIV-1 virus infects human immune cells by producing 15 different circular RNAs.
RNA
Bacteria modify RNA molecules to become more resistant to the effect of antibiotics. Researchers analyze and characterize these modifications.
RNA isn’t just a messenger; it’s a key player in boosting the immune system by helping proteins responsible for detecting a viral invasion.
Experience-based knowledge of the nematode C. elegans is transferred to their offspring, making them avoid infectious food sources.
Plants smuggle vesicles containing the information for antimicrobial effectors into fungi to defend themselves against an ongoing infection.
Ebola virus causes infection by using thin tubes called tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) to move its genetic material from one cell to another and avoid being killed by drugs.
SARS-CoV-2 protein fragments bind with viral RNA and may be responsible for the extreme inflammatory effects of COVID-19
Kleine moleculen, genaamd sRNA’s, blijken zeer nuttig te zijn bij het terugdringen van infecties.
Tiny molecules called sRNAs can prove to be very useful in reducing infections.
