These rRNAs are involved in mRNA binding and decoding ... which are characterized by defects in ribosome function and protein synthesis. rRNA is one of the most highly conserved molecules across all ...

By quantifying the number of mRNA transcripts, the ones inside the cell and those bound to ribosomes, the team found that the ... the branched mRNA was not being degraded or translated into protein.

Domestic researchers have newly discovered the proteins involved in the delivery and degradation of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) vaccines in cells. Regulating these proteins is expected to ...
