How an enzyme, appropriately named DICER, cuts double-stranded RNA to produce short sections of RNA that regulate genes has been revealed. Small snippets of RNAs can turn off genes, stopping them from ...
4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is a major byproduct of lipid peroxidation, a process exacerbated by mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Accumulation of 4-HNE protein adducts has been reported in ...
The RNA paradigm is due for another correction. Once, RNA seemed a mere conduit between genes and proteins. Its status expanded with reports of catalytic RNA 20 years ago and of endogenous RNA ...
