Vital enzyme holds key to the fight against cancer and viral infections Understanding how to control the enzyme may lead to new treatments against cancers and viral infections Date: August 13 ...

The enzyme, APOBEC3A, protects cells against viral infections by inducing mutations to block viruses from replicating. But these mutations can also lead to cancer.

The enzyme APOBEC3A is a vital part of the innate immune system that works to protect cells from viral infection by inducing mutations to block viruses from replicating. However, APOBEC3A also induces ...

Namely, a vital enzyme that enables brain signals is switching on/off at random, even taking hours-long "breaks from work." These findings may have a major impact on our understanding of the brain ...

A new study led by University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers identifies two ways in which APOBEC3A— a vital enzyme that is responsible for genetic changes resulting in a variety of cancers ...
