A human-specific long noncoding RNA regulator of antigen-presenting cell viability and antimicrobial defense.
Macrophages are essential for both, to clear pathogens and preserve tissue homeostasis, yet the molecular regulators of this equilibrium remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify SAILR (survival associated immune-regulatory RNA), a primate-specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), as a critical modulator of macrophage...
