By targeting specific RNA markers that are highly expressed in diseased cells, such as those found in liver cancer, the mRNA can instruct protein synthesis only in target cells. This precision ...

Lots of it. Many ribosomes can be working on a single strand of mRNA at once. Protein synthesis isn't a slow process, either. A protein chain 400 amino acids long can be assembled in 20 seconds!

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

The simplest way to decipher the code would be to start with an mRNA molecule of known sequence, use it to direct the synthesis of a protein, and then determine the amino acid sequence of the ...

Before a prostate biopsy is performed, various preliminary screening procedures are typically conducted. These include a ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

RNA concentration correlates with protein production ... based on DNA sequences that serve as templates in their synthesis. The mRNA molecules then diffuse from the nucleus out to the cytoplasm ...

The inherent instability of mRNA allows cells to rapidly adjust protein levels in response to changing conditions by controlling the synthesis and degradation of specific mRNA molecules. mRNA vaccines ...

The anti-melanogenesis effect of ligustroside derived from Ligustrum japonicum and its underlying mechanisms are explored.
