Forschungsquartett: mRNA-Forschung
Wie unsere Zellen lernen, den #Krebs zu besiegen
Die mRNA-Forschung hat die #Impfstoffe gegen das #Corona-Virus geliefert. Kann die #RNA-Technologie irgendwann sogar den Krebs besiegen? Prof. Markus Landthaler arbeitet am Max Delbrück Center daran, die Wirkweise der RNA-bindenden Proteine zu entschlüsseln und nutzbar zu machen.

The coordination loop in group II introns forms a chimeric kink-turn that involves a long-range base pair (A251-U326).

"“RNA folding is a very tough problem,” concedes Shi-Jie Chen, a computational biophysicist at the University of Missouri in Columbia. But AI, he adds, is getting “better and better”."
Here's a very cool #Science article! Octopuses change genes in strange ways.
It's explained by #Scientist and #ScienceWriter Meg Mindlin at the #Octopus web site

The biology nerd in me really, really likes this XKCD comic:

I've been debating what to say to post with this comic, but it's all either just repeating the joke or explaining the joke. Except, it's not even a joke. It's just facts, presented in a humorous manner. Anyway, if you are not a molecular biology nerd & you would like an explanation, let me know in how much detail.

“I think it will be a gamechanger very broadly, not just for people in my field,” said senior study author James Liu, a group leader at Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus. “It was a tool developed to answer a very obscure question, but I think all biologists can use the technique in their favorite samples.”

Un nou albirament a la Reserva Natural de l'Anoia, el nostre projecte de monitoratge veïnal del nostre tram de riu.
En aquesta ocasió us portem dues imatges d'una meravellosa salamandra.
RNA President Ursula Goodenough will be leading a sermon titled "Ecospiritual Prayer" at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Loudoun in Leesburg, VA. It can be viewed online on 16 March 2025 at 10:00 a.m. EDT.
