Propagation of expression noise from mRNA to protein level is influenced by variation in availability of ribosomal machinery.

GAO Caixia's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a new method of downregulating gene translation to a predictable and ...

MicroRNAs—snippets of nucleic acids a couple dozen base pairs in length—are so small that they went unnoticed for decades despite wielding enormous influence in our cells. It’s now known that they ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...

Targeting ACVRL1, dubbed an 'overlooked' gene by researchers, could potentially lead to new treatments for IPF, a study suggests.
