An international research team has uncovered a new mechanism crucial to the production of cellular proteins. When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are ...

Protein splicing is a naturally occurring post‐translational process in which inteins, as self‐excising protein segments, precisely remove themselves from a host polypeptide and concomitantly ligate ...

Genes contain the essential building instructions for life, guiding cells on which amino acids to assemble in what sequence to produce specific proteins. The human genome codes for about 20,000 such ...

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common acute leukemias in children. While treatment outcomes have improved in recent years, approximately 30% of patients relapse following ...

An antisense therapy restores production of the protein FMRP in cell samples taken from patients with fragile X syndrome. This breakthrough was possible because of the novel findings, also presented ...
