Abstract: One of the mechanisms of mRNA protection in dangerous conditions, such as stress or viral infections, is the formation of RNA granules. This mechanism depends on mRNA gathering within a granule, until the cell conditions are again stabile enoughto fulfill its functions. So far a number of RNA granule types have been described: stress granules (SG), processing bodies (PB), exosome granules, granules caused by UV, and glucose depletion P-bodies. Those elements are not only an extremely important factor influencing cell homeostasis, but also a new element of immunity.
