What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

Almost 1,500 genes have been implicated in intellectual disabilities; yet for most people with such disabilities, genetic causes remain unknown. Perhaps this is in part because geneticists have been ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes ...
