New perspective on RNA function: RNA regulates proteins and thereby can control cell growth, study shows - EurekAlert

Scientists gained new insights into RNA-mediated regulation of proteins (riboregulation) and its role in controlling cell growth, and most importantly how undifferentiated cells (embryonic stem cells) transform into specialised cells (e.g., liver cells). They…
