Messenger RNAs are regulated in far more ways than previously appreciated, study finds
One way of regulating protein levels in cells is to shorten the lifespan of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). These are intermediary molecules that are first copied from DNA in the cell's nucleus via a process called transcription ...
