Alterations of mRNA and lncRNA profiles associated with the extracellular matrix and spermatogenesis in goats [PDF]
Objective Spermatozoa are produced within the seminiferous tubules after sexual maturity. The expression levels of mRNAs and lncRNAs in testicular tissues are different at each stage of testicular development and are closely related to formation of the ...

Functional Assays Combined with Pre-mRNA-Splicing Analysis Improve Variant Classification and Diagnostics for Individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Legius Syndrome [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Legius syndrome (LS) are caused by inactivating variants in NF1 and SPRED1. NF1 encodes neurofibromin (NF), a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RAS that interacts with the SPRED1 product, Sprouty-related protein with ...

mRNA as a Therapeutics: Understanding mRNA Vaccines
Vaccination is one of the important approaches in the prevention and control of diseases. Although the capacity to present antigens other than the disease-specific antigen in the traditional vaccine composition provides a potential benefit by increasing its protective efficacy, many components that are not needed for the related disease are also ...

Integrative Analysis Of LncRNAs In Kidney Cancer To Discover A New LncRNA (LINC00847) As A Therapeutic Target For Staphylococcal Enterotoxin Tst Gene [PDF]
Objective Bacterial toxin can cause cell death through induction of apoptosis in cancer cell lines as well as changes in the expression patterns of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and genes. In the present study, the effect of tst gene on ACHN cell lines

mRNA–mRNA duplexes that autoelicit Staufen1-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]
We report a new mechanism by which human mRNAs cross-talk: an Alu element in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of one mRNA can base-pair with a partially complementary Alu element in the 3' UTR of a different mRNA, thereby creating a Staufen1 (STAU1)-binding site (SBS). STAU1 binding to a 3'-UTR SBS was previously shown to trigger STAU1-mediated mRNA

mRNA distribution in skeletal muscle is associated with mRNA size [PDF]
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle myofibers are large and elongated cells with multiple and evenly distributed nuclei. Nuclear distribution suggests that each nucleus influences a specific compartment within the myofiber and implies a functional role for nuclear positioning. Compartmentalization of specific mRNAs and proteins has been reported at

Modeling the effect of rRNA-mRNA interactions and mRNA folding on mRNA translation in chloroplasts
The process of translation initiation in prokaryotes is mediated by the hybridization of the 16S rRNA of the small ribosomal subunit with the mRNA in a short region called the ribosomal binding site. However, translation initiation in chloroplasts, which have evolved from an ancestral bacterium, is not well understood. Some studies suggest that in many

Increases in the world’s population and population density promote the spread of emerging pathogens. Vaccines are the most cost-effective means of preventing this spread. Traditional methods used to identify and produce new vaccines are not adequate, in most instances, to ensure global protection.

The life of an mRNA molecule begins with transcription and ultimately ends in degradation. In the course of its life, however, mRNA is examined, modified in various ways and transported before eventually being translated into proteins. All these processes are performed by proteins and non-coding RNAs whose complex interplay in the cell contributes to ...

mRNA Vaccine Platform: mRNA Production and Delivery
Vaccination is the most efficient way to prevent infectious diseases. mRNA-based vaccines is a new approach to vaccine development, which have several very useful advantages over other types of vaccines. Since mRNA encodes only the target antigen there is no potential risk of infection as in the case with attenuated or inactivated pathogens.
