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 ...

Heliyon, 2021 Background: Emerging viruses could be detected before reaching pandemic level if universal viral detection screening was routinely used. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is the only common antigen across most viral families.

Site-specific RNase A activity was dramatically reduced in serum from multiple types of cancer patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Potent RNase activities were found in the serum of mammals but the physiological function of the RNases was never well illustrated, largely due to the caveats in methods of RNase activity measurement.

High-Pressure-Sprayed Double Stranded RNA Does Not Induce RNA Interference of a Reporter Gene
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 In plants, RNA interference (RNAi) is an effective defense mechanism against pathogens and pests. RNAi mainly involves the micro RNA and the small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathways.

Why double-stranded RNA resists condensation [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2014 The addition of small amounts of multivalent cations to solutions containing double-stranded DNA leads to inter-DNA attraction and eventual condensation. Surprisingly, the condensation is suppressed in double-stranded RNA, which carries the same negative charge as DNA, but assumes a different double helical form.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
