Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β plaques and Tau tangles in brain tissues. Recent studies indicate that aberrant splicing and increased level of intron ...

Muscle stem cells, the reserve stem cell in the skeletal muscles, are responsible for muscle repair after damage. They are the 'regenerative medicine' to cure muscle diseases and muscle damages. In a ...

Scientists have discovered non-coding RNA has a novel role to fine-tune gene expressions during stress recovery, getting closer to uncovering a 30-year-old nuclear mystery. Scientists have discovered ...

The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed “introns,” are excised by “splicing” to generate mature coding mRNAs that are translated into proteins. As human pre-mRNA introns vary in length ...

The opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans grows in two forms: yeast and filament. The latter state contributes to the severity of infections, and elevated temperature promotes this morphological ...
