The cells in living organisms are constantly making proteins. Ribosomes, the RNA-protein complexes that make other proteins, ...

RNA-binding proteins that control mRNA stability and translation coordinately regulate the expression of proteins that initiate and resolve inflammation. The interferon-γ-activated inhibitor of ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient and evolutionarily conserved gene-silencing mechanism that is triggered by double-stranded (ds)RNA. dsRNA, which is produced endogenously or introduced ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- By delivering strands of genetic material known as messenger RNA (mRNA) into cells, researchers can induce the cells to produce any protein encoded by the mRNA. This technique holds ...

Also, as the prokaryotic cell lacks a clearly defined nucleus and both transcription and translation takes place in the cytoplasm, there is no need to transport the mRNA to the cytoplasm after ...
