Alternative polyadenylation is a vital gene function regulatory mechanism, occurring in more than 60% of human genes. The process is required for the synthesis of diverse mRNAs and proteins from a ...
Recent research on Arabidopsis thaliana flowering may sow the seed of new connections between plant and human reproduction. Gordon Simpson and Caroline Dean at the John Innes Center in Norwich, UK, ...
NUDT21 regulates fibroblast senescence and is significantly decreased in aged and fibrotic lungs, impacting IPF progression. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) and NUDT21 downregulation enhance STAT3 ...
A team led by Dr. Eddie Imada, assistant professor of research in pathology and laboratory medicine, has been awarded a three-year, $1.5 million United States Department of Defense grant for research ...
In a comprehensive review of recent genetic studies, researchers have identified a hidden layer of complexity in how our genes function, shedding new light on the biological underpinnings of major ...
A new spatial transcriptomic approach captures the regulation of splicing and polyadenylation sites during pubescent brain development at near-single-cell resolution. An international collaboration, ...
In TDP-43 proteinopathies, such as frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy, the notorious RNA binding protein abandons its post ...
