Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.
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 ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...
Swiss start-up Haya Therapeutics has formed a partnership with Eli Lilly – worth up to $1 billion – to look for new therapies for obesity in non-coding DNA. The biotech focuses on trawling the 98% of ...
