Stress granules are shock absorbers that prevent excessive innate immune responses to dsRNA
Proper defense against microbial infection depends on the controlled activation of the immune system. This is particularly important for the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), which recognize viral dsRNA and initiate antiviral innate immune responses with the ...

A prenylated dsRNA sensor protects against severe COVID-19
Description The bat connection The heterogeneity of COVID-19 makes it challenging to predict the course of infection in an individual. Upon virus infection, interferons (IFNs) generate the initial signals for cellular defenses.

RNAi-based pest control: Production, application and the fate of dsRNA
The limitations of conventional pesticides have raised the demand for innovative and sustainable solutions for plant protection. RNA Interference (RNAi) triggered by dsRNA has evolved as a promising strategy to control insects in a species-specific ...

The Functional Mechanisms of Toll-Like Receptor 3 and Its Implications in Digestive System Tumors
Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a prominent member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family and has the ability to recognize and bind intracellular double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).

Structural insights into dsRNA processing by Drosophila Dicer-2–Loqs-PD
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the key components for RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved RNA-silencing mechanism in many eukaryotes1,2. In Drosophila, an RNase III enzyme Dicer-2 (Dcr-2), aided by its cofactor Loquacious-PD (Loqs-PD), has an ...

Off-target effects of RNAi correlate with the mismatch rate between dsRNA and non-target mRNA
RNAi is a potent technique for the knockdown of target genes. However, its potential off-target effects limit the widespread applications in both reverse genetic analysis and genetic manipulation.
