Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

A new study shows cells use dual RNA signals to control microRNA lifespan. This selective process protects gene regulation while enabling targeted RNA breakdown.

Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...
