Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are sections of RNA over 200 nucleotides in length that are not translated into proteins, remaining in the nucleus following transcription in relatively low concentration ...

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.

“There is strong debate in the scientific community on whether the thousands of long non-coding RNAs generated from our genomes are functional or simply byproducts of a noisy transcriptional machinery ...

Much of our early work focused on the MALAT1 locus, which is over-expressed in many human cancers and produces a long nuclear-retained noncoding RNA as well as a tRNA-like small RNA known as mascRNA, ...

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

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 ...

A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father’s ...

A father’s plastic exposure could significantly induce metabolic disorders like diabetes in offspring. Limiting the plastic ...
