Liquid brine veins, where RNA molecules can replicate, surround solid ice crystals in water ice, as seen with an electron microscope. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have ...

A research team has developed a new RNA-based system that can detect coronavirus infection in real time inside living cells—and even trigger antiviral responses only when infection occurs.

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...
