What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...
These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...
A new study shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates mitochondrial gene expression in human cells. A new study published in the journal Cell shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates ...
SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...
Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.
A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...
