Alternative splicing is a molecular mechanism that modifies pre-mRNA constructs prior to translation.This process can produce a diversity of mRNAs from a single gene by arranging coding sequences ...

Professor Vlad Pena's group focuses on the structural basis of human pre-mRNA processing under normal, pathological and drug-induced conditions. Our group focuses on the structural basis of human ...

Alternative splicing enables a single gene to encode multiple mRNA variants and, consequently, diversifies protein isoform products. The advent of deep sequencing technologies has revealed that 95 ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

My lab studies mRNA splicing mechanisms, its dysregulation in cancer and genetic diseases, and the development of RNA-targeted therapeutics.

EMBL Grenoble Group Leader Wojciech Galej, who has been working on pre-mRNA splicing machinery for more than 15 years, first decided to focus on the minor spliceosome seven years ago -- a project ...

The combined results of their research, including work in mouse models, indicated that the effects of TREs interfere with a critical process called gene splicing, which is essential for gene function.

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing ...

Vigeneron GmbH has received IND approval from the FDA for VG-801, a novel mRNA trans-splicing gene therapy to treat Stargardt disease and other retinal dystrophies associated with mutations in the ...

Additionally, viral mRNA is continually replenished by the virus throughout the course of infection, further aiding its stability and replication. Comparison of the amount of vaccine mRNA and viral ...

We asked experts about how the technology works, its safety and its potential in medicine. By Nina Agrawal Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly questioned the safety of mRNA ...
