N-glycans in a new role and, perhaps, another glyco-checkpoint !N-glycans on glycosylated RNAs hide self-RNA from endosomal Toll like receptors promoting silent clearance of dead cells | Nature.
Why does RNA undergo glycosylation? Excited to have our new paper out. We in collab w/ Ryan Flynn show N-glycans on glycoRNAs hide self-RNA from endosomal TLRs promoting ‘silent’ clearance of dead cells. @uconnhealth @UConnResearch
