Liquid biopsies provide a means for the profiling of cell-free RNAs secreted by cells throughout the body. Although well-annotated coding and non-coding transcripts in blood are readily detectable and ...
CAG triple-nucleotide repeats in multiple genes have been linked to various human diseases. A recent study unveils the effects of CAG repeat RNA gelation on protein translation, thereby expanding our ...
Recent neuroscience studies have consistently outlined the role of the C9ORF72 gene in the development of some neurodegenerative diseases. These studies found that mutations of this gene increase the ...
Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common cause of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that leads to muscle weakness and wasting, but also affects the brain, the ...
RNA clusters (green colored) gradually disassemble within biomolecular condensates (magenta colored), returning the RNA to a soluble state. This occured after an antisense oligonucleotide engineered ...
