lincRNA: A recently discovered RNA organizes stem cell differentiation

News: Proteomics    August 30, 2011
What makes a scientist’s heart go pitter-patter? Something like this: When the Broad team discovered more than 3,500 unique lincRNAs in the human and mouse genomes in 2009, “the potential was enormous, and we wanted to know what they could be doing.” [Source: Technology Review] Here’s the scenario: A team of researchers at the Broad [...]

Cell development: microRNA moves between cells

News: Cell Biology    April 25, 2010
How do cells develop; how do tissues form? For example, what guides cells to form a heart? These are crucial questions for molecular biology and an area with decades of research that still feels like it’s just getting started. Case in point: Researchers at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research (BTI, New York, USA) [...]
