This is how the body sets up a unique emergency team against stroke using RNA-guide fragments

Guide RNA fragments, which until recently were known as the breakdown stages of the guide RNA on the way to their elimination from the body, were discovered in a new study led by Prof. Hermona Sorek from the Hebrew University, as molecules of great importance in preventing the collapse of the immune system following a stroke, the risk of which increases in corona patients

This is what Prof. Harmona Sorek from the Institute of Life Sciences at the Hebrew University says in an interview with the Scientist website, who is happy about the decision to award Emmanuel Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna the Wolf Prize last year. Now Charpentier is establishing the Max Planck Institute for Infectious Diseases in Berlin with high budgets, and is also contributing to corona research
