Scientists Discover Obelisks: Mysterious New RNA Structures Found in the Human Body

A groundbreaking study has revealed a previously unknown class of circular RNAbased entitiesdubbed Obelisks residing within the human microbiome. Found primarily in samples from the mouth and gut, these compact structures (under 1, 000 nucleotides) resemble viroids but challenge our current understanding of biological classification. Unlike traditional viruses, Obelisks do not encode proteins and appear to operate independently, leading researchers to suggest they may represent a new form of life. This discovery raises profound questions about the diversity of life, the complexity of the human microbiome, and the potential role these mysterious agents play in our health, disease, and evolution. Watch to learn: What makes Obelisks different from viruses and viroids Where exactly are these new entities living in the body Why this finding could revolutionize biology and medicine.
