Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn discovered how a small, naturally occurring RNA molecule in the kidney activates a mutated immune receptor, triggering a chain reaction. In collaboration with Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University and Würzburg University Hospital, among others, the study provides an explanation for how a point mutation in the immune receptor RIG-I turns the body’s defense system into a self-destructive force and causes severe autoimmune diseases of specific organs.
