Noncoding RNA may promote Alzheimer's disease

Noncoding RNA may promote Alzheimers disease
2011-05-31

Although scientists have identified numerous proteins and RNAs that influence alternative splicing, they haven't deciphered how cells fine-tune the process to produce specific protein versions.

2011-05-31

This has been cited as a major cause of the Norse's disappearance. Now researchers led by Brown University show the climate turned colder ...
