mRNA Guardians: Shielding the Code Within

Más información sobre el libro

The role of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) is pivotal in determining the fate of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, acting as regulators that influence mRNA stability, localization, and translation into proteins. By binding to specific mRNA sequences, RBPs can either facilitate protein production or target mRNA for degradation, enabling cells to adapt gene expression to their needs. Understanding these interactions is essential for insights into development, stress responses, and disease, potentially leading to therapies that manipulate gene expression for improved health outcomes.
