  We investigate the equilibrium and non-equilibrium transport through a
quantum dot in the Kondo regime, embedded between a normal metal and a
topological superconductor supporting Majorana bound states at its end points.
We find that the Kondo physics is significantly modified by the presence of the
Majorana modes. When the Majorana modes are coupled, aside from the Kondo scale
$T_K$, a new energy scale $T^*\ll T_K$ emerges, that controls the low energy
physics of the system. At low temperatures, the ac-conductance is suppressed
for frequencies below $T^*$, while the noise spectrum acquires a $\sim
\omega^3$ dependence. At high temperatures, $T \gg T_K$, the regular
logarithmic dependence in the differential conductance is also affected. Under
non-equilibrium conditions, and in particular in the $\{T, B\}\to 0$ limit, the
differential conductance becomes negative. These findings indicate that the
changes in transport may serve as clues for detecting the Majorana bound states
in such systems. In terms of methods used, we characterize the transport by
using a combination of perturbative and renormalization group approaches.
