New CRISPR Tool Gives Scientists Control Over Cellular Protein Production
Controlling ribosomal RNA could help researchers target diseases driven by too little or too much protein production. Cells do not simply make proteins at a fixed pace. They continually adjust production to match their needs, and those changes can help determine whether a cell keeps dividing, adopts a specialized identity, or retains the developmental flexibility [...]
Researchers at LMU and Helmholtz Munich have developed a new gene-editing tool that links ribosomal RNA production to cell growth and change. The discovery could open new avenues for the study of rare diseases and aggressive tumors. Discovery about ribosomal RNA The study, published in the journal Science, reveals that ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is not just a passive component in the cellular machinery, but plays an active role in protein production. …
