[ad_1] Credit: Jennifer Cook-Chrysos / Whitehead Institute MicroRNAs are short sequences of RNA that maintain tight control over which genes are expressed and when. They do this by regulating which messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts – the single-stranded templates for proteins – are actually read by the cell. But what controls …

[ad_1] DALLAS – November 12, 2020 – Researchers at UT Southwestern have discovered a mechanism that cells use to degrade microRNAs (miRNAs), genetic molecules that regulate the amount of protein in cells. The results, reported online today in Science, not only sheds light on the inner workings of cells, but …

[ad_1] Using a stripped down climate model, Randers and colleague Ulrich Goluke predicted changes up to the year 2500 in two scenarios: the instantaneous cessation of emissions and the gradual reduction to zero of global warming gases by 2100. Global warming will disrupt food supplies, slow global economic growth and …

[ad_1] NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars took this selfie at a place dubbed “Mary Anning” by a 19th-century English paleontologist. Curiosity captured three rock samples drilled at this site as it exited the Glen Torridon region, which scientists believe preserves an ancient habitable environment.
