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.

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.

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.

Credit: Universität Würzburg Archives His key insight hinged upon the fact that living cells are essentially bags of liquid filled with enzymes, or proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Water accounts for 70 percent of a bacterium by mass; the other 30 percent includes everything else: proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, and so on.

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?
