A collaborative study published today in the journal Cell Reports provides evidence for a new molecular cause for neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. The study, led by researchers at Baylor ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs - single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis - and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays ...

Researchers developed molecules, called splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) that bind to the RNA molecules encoding a protein known as REST. In neuroendocrine tumors, these RNAs are incorrectly ...

Alternative splicing, a process where a single gene can give rise to multiple different proteins via inclusion or exclusion of certain segments of the gene sequence, is known to occur in over 90% of ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs -- single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis -- and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...

Graphical abstracts. REST_SSO directly modifies REST splicing and RE1 gene expression, whereas both REST_SSO and SRRM4_ASO exhibit antitumor effects in SCLC/NEPCa. Osaka, Japan – Neuroendocrine tumors ...
