During cellular stress, reduced ribosome activity allows m 6 A-marked mRNAs to accumulate, enabling stress-response protein synthesis. This mechanism may inform cancer therapy strategies targeting ...

At the cellular level, these mutants exhibited reduced ROS production ... It reveals a previously unrecognized role of myosin ...

The findings suggest that “aged neurons are prioritizing other proteins and forgetting about the stress response and about RNA-binding proteins that keep everything running smoothly,” Yeo said.

Each cluster expresses a different set of genes, meaning that the clusters have distinct stress responses to the COVID-19-triggered maternal inflammatory response,” said co-corresponding author Dr.
