Using "in extracto cryo-EM", we visualize ribosomes in mammalian lysates, including RRL. "Hibernating" ribosomes carry an extended set of proteins that protect functional centers. These include elongation factor eEF2, LARP1 implicated in mTOR signaling, eIF5A etc. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

GGNBP2 regulates MDA5 sensing triggered by self double-stranded RNA following loss of ADAR1 editing
GGNBP2, CNOT10, and CNOT11 are required for innate immune response after the loss of ADAR1-mediated editing of self dsRNA.

Active learning can take many forms, but all require students to actively participate rather than passively absorb content. Typically, this involves structured activities such as group work, guided worksheets, think-pair-share, gallery walks, and jigsaw activities.
