Cellular RNA interacts with MAVS to promote antiviral signaling
Antiviral signaling downstream of RIG-I–like receptors (RLRs) proceeds through a multi-protein complex organized around the adaptor protein mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). Protein co...

Busy last few weeks with Italy pediatric IBD conference, chairing local equity symposium & now off to Seattle for #Cytokines2025! I haven't been able to attend the last 2yrs so excited to chat with fellow #IFN enthusiasts & give a talk 🥳 + always nice to visit where I did my PhD when not back often
