Translation fidelity is the limiting factor in the accuracy of gene expression. With an estimated frequency of 10-4, errors in mRNA decoding occur in a mostly stochastic manner. Little is known about the response of higher eukaryotes to chronic loss of ribosomal accuracy as per an increase in the...
Background: Influenza A virus (IAV) causes a wide spectrum of clinical outcomes, from mild symptoms to life-threatening pneumonia. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiota in modulating immune responses and influencing disease sever...
