Targeting mitochondrial metabolites and nucleic acids as an anti-inflammatory strategy
Frontiers in Drug Discovery, 2023 Mitochondrial metabolites and their derivatives have been the focus of recent efforts to develop new anti-inflammatory therapeutics. The widely used therapeutic agents dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and metformin have anti-inflammatory properties and have been ...

Tracking Cryptosporidium parvum by Sequence Analysis of Small Double-Stranded RNA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 We sequenced a 173-nucleotide fragment of the small double-stranded viruslike RNA of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from 23 calves and 38 humans. Sequence diversity was detected at 17 sites.

Genome Biology, 2023 Existing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods rely on reverse transcription (RT) and second-strand synthesis (SSS) to convert single-stranded RNA into double-stranded DNA prior to amplification, with the limited RT/SSS efficiency compromising ...

Interaction of PKR with single-stranded RNA
Scientific Reports, 2017 Although the antiviral kinase PKR was originally characterized as a double-stranded RNA activated enzyme it can be stimulated by RNAs containing limited secondary structure.

siRNA-like double-stranded RNAs are specifically protected against degradation in human cell extract. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 RNA interference (RNAi) is a set of intracellular pathways in eukaryotes that controls both exogenous and endogenous gene expression. The power of RNAi to knock down (silence) any gene of interest by the introduction of synthetic small-interfering (si ...

Neurodegeneration, Heterochromatin, and Double-Stranded RNA
Journal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2019 Changes in chromatin and epigenetic modifications have been associated with aging and aging-associated neurodegenerative diseases, although the causal relationship between these changes and disease-related pathology has been unclear.

Rotavirus infection induces transient pancreatic involution and hyperglycemia in weanling mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Rotavirus is a ubiquitous double-stranded RNA virus responsible for most cases of infantile gastroenteritis. It infects pancreatic islets in vitro and is implicated as a trigger of autoimmune destruction of islet beta cells leading to type 1 diabetes ...

A phagocytic route for uptake of double-stranded RNA in RNAi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 RNA interference (RNAi) has a range of physiological functions including as a defence mechanism against viruses. To protect uninfected cells in a multicellular organism, not only a cell-autonomous RNAi response is required but also a systemic one ...
