Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

The ensemble diversity of non-coding RNA structure is lower than random sequence
In addition to energetically optimal structures, RNAs can fold into near energy suboptimal conformations that may be populated and play functional roles.

RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation as a tool to investigate plant miRNA processing interference by regulatory proteins of diverse origin [PDF]
Background: Due to the nature of viral RNA genomes, RNA viruses depend on many RNA-binding proteins (RBP) of viral and host origin for replication, dissemination and evasion of host RNA degradation pathways.

Quasi-essentiality of RNase Y inBacillus subtilisis caused by its critical role in the control of mRNA homeostasis [PDF]
ABSTRACTRNA turnover is essential in all domains of life. The endonuclease RNase Y (rny) is one of the key components involved in RNA metabolism of the model organismBacillus subtilis. Essentiality of RNase Y has been a matter of discussion, since deletion of thernygene is possible, but leads to severe phenotypic effects.

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.

Heat-shock-induced refolding entails rapid degradation of bsrG toxin mRNA by RNases Y and J1
Gene regulation accomplished by alternative folding of an mRNA is a widely used mechanism. Classical examples are the various transcriptional attenuation mechanisms that employ, for example, leader peptide translation, or binding of a modified protein, an uncharged tRNA or an antisense RNA to the 5' untranslated region of an mRNA. With the discovery of

Targeted modulation of IGFL2‐AS1 reveals its translational potential in cervical adenocarcinoma
Cervical adenocarcinoma patients face worse outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma counterparts despite similar treatment. The identification of IGFL2‐AS1's differential expression provides a molecular basis for distinguishing these histotypes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved survival in vulnerable populations globally.

The role of the 5’ sensing function of ribonuclease E in cyanobacteria
RNA degradation is critical for synchronising gene expression with changing conditions in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In bacteria, the preference of the central ribonucleases RNase E, RNase J and RNase Y for 5’-monophosphorylated RNAs is ...

RNase Y is responsible for uncoupling the expression of translation factor IF3 from that of the ribosomal proteins L35 and L20 in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
SummaryRNase Y is a novel endoribonuclease affecting global mRNA metabolism. We show that this nuclease affects the expression of the Bacillus subtilis infC‐rpmI‐rplT operon, encoding translation initiation factor IF3 and the ribosomal proteins L35 and L20. This operon is autoregulated by a complex L20‐dependent transcription attenuation mechanism. L20
