Deadly viruses are first detected by our immune system by MDA5, a receptor that recognizes viral RNA soon after it infects the cell. Yale University researchers show that pairs of these molecules assemble along this viral RNA in long filaments, which...
Yale scientists have discovered the molecular pathway by which maternally inherited deafness appears to occur: Mitochondrial DNA mutations trigger a signaling cascade, resulting in programmed cell death. The study is in the Feb. 17 issue of Cell.How...
Timothy Nelson, professor of molecular, cellular & developmental biology, has been awarded an $8.4 million grant by the Plant Genome Research Program of the National Science Foundation to investigate the molecular basis of C4 type photosynthesis — a...
