Ribonucleases as potential therapeutic agents [PDF]
Objective Due to high cytotoxicity effect, ribonucleases (RNases) are known as pharmacological agents with therapeutic potential. The high potential of these enzymes in the destruction of RNA strand and their other substrates and subsequently, cell ...

Structural investigations of proteins encoded by SARS‐CoV‐2
It is hard to overestimate the influence of the COVID‐19 pandemic on scientific research in the last two and a half years. Within a few weeks after the first cases of the disease were reported, the causative agent, now known as SARS‐CoV‐2, was identified,

Mammalian mitochondrial RNAs are degraded in the mitochondrial intermembrane space by RNASET2
Mammalian mitochondrial genome encodes a small set of tRNAs, rRNAs, and mRNAs. The RNA synthesis process has been well characterized. How the RNAs are degraded, however, is poorly understood. It was long assumed that the degradation happens in the matrix

Cyclic nucleotide second messengers are increasingly implicated in prokaryotic anti-viral defence systems. Type III CRISPR systems synthesise cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) upon detecting foreign RNA, activating ancillary nucleases that can be toxic to ...

Human and mouse angiogenins: Emerging insights and potential opportunities
Angiogenin, a well-known angiogenic factor, is crucial to the angiogenesis in gastrointestinal tumors. Human angiogenin has only one gene, whereas the murine angiogenin family has extended to incorporate six genes.

Although single targeted anti-cancer drugs are envisaged as safer treatments because they do not affect normal cells, cancer is a very complex disease to be eradicated with a single targeted drug. Alternatively, multi-targeted drugs may be more effective

Ribonuclease (RNase) Prolongs Survival of Grafts in Experimental Heart Transplantation
BackgroundCell damage, tissue and vascular injury are associated with the exposure and release of intracellular components such as RNA, which promote inflammatory reactions and thrombosis. Based on the counteracting anti‐inflammatory and cardioprotective
