Innovative methodology to detect viral RNA

Experts from the University of Barcelona, the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia, the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona and the Aragon Nanoscience and Materials Institute of Aragon —a joint institute of the CSIC and the University of Zaragoza— have developed a new method to detect RNA viruses based on the triplex-forming probe technology.

Innate lymphoid cells educate alveolar macrophages following exposure to different viruses

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Liège on group 2 innate lymphoid cells (or ILC2s) shows that the functional reprogramming of these cells following their exposure to viruses allows our body to react differently to exposure to certain respiratory allergens.
