New paper published in PNAS

Our paper, revealing long non-coding RNA MaIL1 as a component of the TLR4-TRIF immune signaling pathway is now out in PNAS. We reveal MaIL1 as a critical component of type I interferon-mediated innate antibacterial defense in human macrophages. The paper also reports previously unknown subclasses of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), co-sedimenting with different cellular protein machineries, and describes a new workflow for lncRNA mechanistic investigation.
