The Trump HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon is a flat liar. Peer review selects the best grants and awards them for several years and that’s it.

The Trump admin has politicized American science in an unprecedented way and now lies about it. Journalists: ask scientists about what’s happened for the truth.

Control of retrotransposon-driven activation of the interferon response by the double-stranded RNA binding protein DGCR8 The type I interferon (IFN) response is the main innate immune pathway against viruses in mammals. This pathway must be tightly regulated to prevent viral spread while avoiding excessive immune respon...

In our last preprint we identify endogenous dsRNAs capable of activating the interferon response. Could these be relevant to our understanding of DiGeorge syndrome (22qDS)?
