Downstream RNA hairpins found orchestrating mRNA translation
Research led by Duke University, Durham, has discovered a situation-dependent traffic jam in mRNA translation caused by RNA hairpins leading to higher translation of upstream start codons (uAUGs)......»»
Rise of the RNA machines: Self-amplification in mRNA vaccine design
The next generation of self-replicating mRNA vaccines could have fewer side effects such as fever, headache and fatigue. This would partly result from the application of artificial intelligence in vaccine development. This is the prediction of Gorben.....»»
Google reportedly gives up on making AR glasses—for the third time
Project Iris said to be scrapped as Google focuses on AR software. Enlarge / A Google video promoted AR's translation potential with these normal-looking consumer AR glasses a year ago, but Google's reportedly quit developing AR.....»»

Nucleoside analogs for messenger RNA metabolic labeling and sequencing
High-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is widely used to profile global cellular gene expression and gain insights into cellular biological processes; however, effectively tracking dynamic changes in cellular mRNA expression remains a challenge. Be.....»»
Scientists quantify regulation factors contributing to flux changes in the central metabolic pathway in yeast
Metabolic reaction flux change is the final result of interacting regulations by intracellular gene expression, transcriptional regulation, protein level, translation modification, and allosteric effect. However, the regulatory mechanism of metabolic.....»»
Retooling the ribosomal translation machine could expand chemical repertoire of cells
Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals—from fuels to fabrics and drugs—beyond the normal repertoire of microbes......»»

Missing link explains mRNA delivery in brain cells
Brain cells manufacture proteins in every corner, including their long branches. Neurons missing this ability cause severe neurological disorders like disability and epilepsy. The groups of Marino Zerial, Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Molecular Cell.....»»
Memory chipmakers and module houses seek to stabilize prices
Memory chipmakers have shown downstream customers that they will no longer sell at low prices, while module manufacturers with high levels of inventory are eager to see spot market prices stabilize, according to industry sources......»»
Researchers tell owners to “assume compromise” of unpatched Zyxel firewalls
