Background: Toys in pediatric office waiting rooms may be fomites for transmission of viruses. Methods: Eighteen samples were taken from office objects on 3 occasions. Samples were tested for presence ...

RNA immunity is a defense system against viruses, including the cross-species regulation of exogenous miRNAs and the endogenous RNA-based immune system. Figure created with BioRender.com. Conventional ...

Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...

To solve a problem, scientists first need to see it clearly. Whether it’s a virus slipping past the immune system or plaques forming in the brain, visualization is the first step toward finding ...
