Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...
This study reports an important and novel finding that TENT5A, an enzyme involved in fine-tuning poly(A) tail length on selected mRNAs, is required for proper enamel mineralization in mice. The ...
MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells make proteins. Their starring role ...
The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...
Researchers found that Herpes simplex virus type 1 reorganizes nuclear speckles, essential sites for RNA processing. Without intact speckles, viral messenger RNAs cannot exit the nucleus, limiting ...
University of Queensland research has revealed that double-stranded RNA-based biopesticides (dsRNA) sprayed on plant leaves ...
With big pharma signalling interest in novel RNA-targeted approaches, the term “druggable” is being redefined as technology advances.
Recent research reveals that nuclear speckles play a key role in modifying viral messenger RNAs and in their transport out of the nucleus; therefore, nuclear speckles are an important subject of study ...
