RNA splicing involves the removal of non-coding introns and the joining of coding exons in precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) to produce mature messenger RNA (mRNA). Splicing changes can lead to diseases, ...

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common acute leukemias in children. While treatment outcomes have improved in recent years, approximately 30% of patients relapse following ...

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the ...

Researchers developed molecules, called splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) that bind to the RNA molecules encoding a protein known as REST. In neuroendocrine tumors, these RNAs are incorrectly ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

Bodybuilders and cellular mechanisms agree generating protein is a heavy lift. To complete the task, cells rely on complexes called spliceosomes. These molecular machines snip extra bits out of our ...

This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global ...

Collaboration with UMass Chan Medical School confirmed FMR1-217 as well as an RNA-targeted mechanism to restore functional FMRP protein to develop potential treatments for FXS QurAlis’ preliminary ...
