Under normal circumstances, tau protein is part of the brain’s infrastructure, important for stabilizing neurons into their proper shapes. But sometimes tau gets knotted up into tangles and turns ...
A research team from National Taiwan University, Academia Sinica, and National Taiwan University Hospital has uncovered a critical connection between a unique RNA molecule and human aging, including ...
In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of ...
The expression of genes has to be very carefully controlled by cells; serious problems can arise when genes are expressed in the wrong places, at the wrong times, or at the wrong levels, for some ...
circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...
