An immune factor in the brain plays critical roles in neuron function and aging

Broad Institute

A new study reveals that C1q can also enter neurons, where it influences protein production, and can accumulate within neurons over time. They also suggest that C1q influences learning, memory, and flexibility in the adult brain, potentially by interacting with specific complexes within neurons that impact protein production.

Scientists pinpoint where thousands of individual proteins are made in intact tissue and single cells

Broad Institute

Now, researchers at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed RIBOmap, a technique that lets them pinpoint and visualize the precise locations of thousands of proteins being produced within an intact tissue and even individual cells. By Sarah C.P. Williams June 29, 2023 Credit: Zeng H, Huang J, Ren J, et al.

Cave Coronavirus in Wuhan Lab Seeded COVID – The Truth Has Always Been Out There, in the Genetics

PLOS: DNA Science

The most compelling evidence for the origin lies in the RNA genome sequence similarities between RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 – specifically, a part that encodes the “furin binding site” of the spike protein with which the virus adheres to host cells. Coincidence? I’ve never thought so. b) in an abandoned mine shaft?

Eloxx Pharmaceuticals to Report Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provide Business Update on November 5, 2020

The Pharma Data

is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel RNA-modulating drug candidates (designed to be eukaryotic ribosomal selective glycosides) that are formulated to treat rare and ultra-rare premature stop codon diseases. Premature stop codons are point mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA.

A Look Back

Dark Matter Blog

As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA. My last stop at Arrakis Therapeutics is with a company targeting RNA with small molecules. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs.
