The overactivation of transposable elements(TEs)is a significant threat to male reproduction,particularly during the delicate process of spermatogenesis.Here,we report that zinc finger protein ZCCHC8-a key component o...
Innate immune signaling is essential for clearing pathogens and damaged cells and must be tightly regulated to avoid excessive inflammation or autoimmunity.Here,we found that the alternative splicing of exons derived ...
