Abstract. For more than a century, scientists have worked to characterize, understand, and predict the consequences of mutations. For almost as long, scien
Endogenous double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are immunogenic self-molecules that drive aberrant immune activation under pathological conditions. Here, we …
Author summary Host-microbial interactions influence animals’ survival dynamics. A key pathway that regulates survival is insulin receptor signaling, which responds to bacterial-derived cues. Because ...
