Stress granules are an integral part of the stress response that are formed from non-translating mRNAs aggregated with proteins. While much is known about stress granules, the factors that drive their ...

Asymmetric messenger RNA (mRNA) localization facilitates efficient translation in cells such as neurons and fibroblasts. However, the extent and importance of mRNA polarization in epithelial tissues ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine, have discovered that nuclear speckles, a membraneless organelle within the nucleus, serve as central hubs for pre-mRNA 3′ end processing. This ...

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to wreak havoc on the world in 2020, the biopharmaceutical industry started working tirelessly to develop a vaccine to stop this global threat. Emerging from this effort ...

Recent progress in the development of high-content technologies for in-cell RNA visualization and imaging has revolutionized the exploration of mRNA biology and analysis of RNA-protein interactions.
