Application

Polyadenylic acid-Polyuridylic acid (polyAU) is a double stranded homodimer studied for potential therapeutic activity, especially when coupled with radiotherapy. PolyA/U is used in comparative physiochemical studies with other duplex and single-stranded polymers such as poly-A and poly-U.

Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), retinoic acid-inducible gene I, and melanoma differentiation-associated antigen 5 (RIG-I/MDA-5) helicases are known to sense double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus and initiate antiviral responses, such as production of type-I interferons (IFNs). Recognition of dsRNA by TLR3 or

Plastid translational control depends to a large extent on the light conditions, and is presumably mediated by nucleus-encoded proteins acting on organelle gene expression. However, the molecular mechanisms of light signalling involved in translation are still poorly understood. We investigated

With a median follow-up of 14 years, the combination of polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid plus locoregional radiotherapy (257 patients) has significantly improved disease-free survival (p = 0.03) and significantly reduced the incidence of metastases (p = 0.04) when compared to CMF alone

Viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mimetics have been explored in cancer immunotherapy to promote antitumoral immune response. Polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) and polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid (poly A:U) are synthetic analogs of viral dsRNA and strong inducers of type I interferon (IFN). We
