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 ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

A new method lets researchers visualize messenger RNA translation across different brain cell types. In this image, CA3 pyramidal neurons of the mouse hippocampus glow magenta, indicating especially ...

Researchers applied the Ribo-STAMP method to map protein translation in nearly 20,000 mouse hippocampal cells. The study ...

A mysterious RNA found in breast cancer led scientists to uncover an entire hidden class of cancer-specific RNAs across ...

A protein that quietly suppresses tooth growth may hold the key to regrowing teeth in adults, according to a line of research that has moved from mouse models to the doorstep of human clinical trials.

This mini-review synthesises evidence showing that adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing plays an important regulatory role in cardiovascular development, cellular homeostasis, and disease biology. It ...

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...

Parkinson’s disease may begin reshaping the body’s chemistry years before the first tremor or stiffness appears. A growing ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...
