Scientists uncover functions of mysterious organelles in stress response
Stress is a normal response to physical and emotional stimuli, particularly when people face changes in their lives. Though it’s a normal feeling, long-term stress...
Transcriptome-Wide Comparison of Stress Granules and P-Bodies Reveals that Translation Plays a Major Role in RNA Partitioning [Research Article]
The eukaryotic cytosol contains multiple RNP granules, including P-bodies and stress granules. Three different methods have been used to describe the transcriptome of stress granules...

ICR scientists carry out first comprehensive assessment of chemical probe resources
A new report urges biomedical researchers to use online web resources very carefully, taking into account their complementary benefits and weaknesses, when selecting small-molecule chemical...
Tissue tropism and transmission ecology predict virulence of human RNA viruses
by Liam Brierley, Amy B. Pedersen, Mark E. J. Woolhouse Novel infectious diseases continue to emerge within human populations. Predictive studies have begun to identify...
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease study unearths a new mechanism of neurodegeneration

Establishment of a Heterologous RNA Editing Event in Chloroplasts
In chloroplasts and plant mitochondria, specific cytidines in mRNAs are posttranscriptionally converted to uridines by RNA editing. Editing sites are recognized by nucleus-encoded RNA-binding proteins...
MIT researchers develop method to isolate T cells primed for certain allergies or infections
When your immune system is exposed to a vaccine, an allergen, or an infectious microbe, subsets of T cells that can recognize a foreign intruder...
Researchers identify possible new treatment strategy for progeria
Progeria is a very rare disease that affects about one in 18 million children and results in premature aging and death in adolescence from complications...
Long Noncoding RNA HOTAIR Promotes Endometrial Carcinoma Cell Proliferation by Binding to PTEN via the Activating Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt Signaling Pathway [Research Article]
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert essential biological functions in modulating the progression of endometrial carcinoma (EC). HOX transcript antisense intergenetic...
ESR1-Stabilizing Long Noncoding RNA TMPO-AS1 Promotes Hormone-Refractory Breast Cancer Progression [Research Article]
Acquired endocrine therapy resistance is a significant clinical problem for breast cancer patients. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to long noncoding RNA...
