The recognition of peptide-MHC (pMHC) complexes by T cells is the cornerstone of cellular immunity, enabling the elimination of infected or tumoral cells. pMHC can thus be leveraged as a detection tool for T cells.
Researchers at Stanford have identified a novel class of ribonucleic acid (RNA)-reactive groups that effectively modify the RNA by placing heteroaryl and aryl groups at the 2'-hydroxyl (OH) positions.
Stanford scientists have developed broadly neutralizing antibodies against sarbecoviruses , including SARS-CoV-2 related Clade 1b, SARS-CoV related Clade 1a and Clade 3 viruses, paving the way for future vaccines and therapeutics.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a CRISPR-based system to degrade viral RNA, with potential applications as both an anti-viral therapeutic and a prophylactic treatment against influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other viruses.
