This study shows a specific SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA region forms compact granular structures autonomously without the N protein, and the N protein melts these structures, suggesting it acts as an RNA chaperone.

This study develops a nucleic acid prodrug that boosts mitochondrial respiration, increases ATP levels, and extends lifespan in C. elegans by enhancing energy metabolism and stress resilience.
