Defects in RNA processing can promote cancer -- but the mutated proteins responsible can be hard to target. Fred Hutch Cancer ...

Interestingly, these elements reside in introns, sections of DNA flanking exons that were traditionally deemed non-functional "dark matter." However, when the TBXT gene produces RNA, the repetitive ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism which allows adult brain stem cells to express genes that maintain their identity and those for neuronal differentiation without conflicts in cellular ...

Brain stem cells express both genes that maintain their identity and genes specific to the neurons they produce. This finding ...
