Cells use backup mechanism to recognize potential invaders when usual RNA editing process fails, study finds

Our cells need to be able to recognize potential invaders as a threat, the key function of the body’s innate immune system. Sometimes this process fails, causing the body to react to its own cells, leading to autoinflammatory disease. New research has identified a critical fall-back mechanism used by the cells when the usual RNA editing process is switched off.
