• Radiation exposure poses similar risk of first and second cancers in atomic bomb survivors

  It is well known that exposure to radiation has multiple harmful effects – including causing cancer – but until now, it has been unclear to what extent such exposure increases a person's risk of developing more than one cancer. The first large-scale study of the relationship between radiation dose a more

• Proteins linked with Alzheimer's, other neurodegenerative diseases found to clump in normal aging

  In neurodegenerative diseases, clumps of insoluble proteins appear in patients' brains. These aggregates contain proteins that are unique to each disease, such as amyloid beta in Alzheimer's disease, but they are intertwined with small amounts of many other insoluble proteins that are normally prese more

• Retention of exogenous mRNAs selectively in the germ cells of the sea urchin requires only a 5'‐cap and a 3'UTR

  Abstract The abundance of an mRNA in a cell depends on its overall rates of synthesis and decay. RNA stability is an important element in the regulation of gene expression, and is achieved by a variety of processes including specific recruitment of nucleases and RNAi‐associated mechanisms.
