Blockade of TLR3 protects mice from lethal radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome.

abstract：:Prolonged cell survival occurs through the expression of specific protein isoforms generated by alternate splicing of mRNA precursors in cancer cells. How alternate splicing regulates tumor development and resistance to targeted therapies in cancer remain poorly understood. Here we show that RNF113A, whose loss-of-fun...
