The ELAV protein binds to specific regions of the precursor RNA, namely to so-called reverse complementary sequences (RCMs) in the introns flanking the "backsplice junction" (BSJ) that is crucial for ...
Deep within our nerve cells, a molecule is at work that has no beginning and no end. Instead of a straight chain, as is it common for most RNA strands, it forms a closed loop. Known as circular RNAs ...
The interaction between RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) has emerged as a key area of interest in understanding cancer biology. As critical regulators of gene expression, RBPs ...

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...
