Negative regulation of miRNA sorting into EVs is mediated by the capacity of RBP PCBP2 to impair the SYNCRIP-dependent miRNA loading
This article makes a valuable contribution to the field by uncovering a molecular mechanism for miRNA intracellular retention, mediated by the interaction of PCBP2, SYNCRIP, and specific miRNA motifs.
Scientists successfully sequenced the oldest Egyptian DNA. Here’s what they found.
More than 4,000 years ago, Egypt and Mesopotamia stood as two of the most complex societies on the planet. But the new DNA sequencing reveals how these two populations also intermingled.
