Methylation of tRNA-derived fragments regulates gene-silencing activity in bladder cancer - EurekAlert

Researchers describe a novel form of gene regulation that is altered in bladder cancer, leading to the boosting of a gene pathway that helps the cancer cells survive during rapid growth. The work focuses on a 22-base fragment of transfer RNA, tRF-3b, which is…
