..., and thereby suppresses gene expression. RNAi has proven to be a powerful tool in the elucidation of gene function in organisms ranging from worms, to plants and fruit flies. However, the use of RNAi in mammals has been complicated by the antiviral response of mammalian cells to dsRNA. The presence of for...Drug-resistant cancer outwitted by chemical flank attack

...o a site on a protein known as ADAR1 that has been proven to bind to Z-DNA, the researchers first replaced the active site in E3L with the ADAR1 site and found that viruses containing this modified protein were still lethal. Next, the team mutated the modified protein and found that mutations that affected ...Chronic alcohol abuse damages regulating hormones
