A tripartite cell-free translation system to study mammalian translation - Nature Protocols

This protocol presents a tripartite mammalian cell-free translation system, comprising cytoplasmic and ribosome fractions combined with endogenous or synthetic mRNAs, permitting flexible reconstitution and careful dissection of the mechanisms of translation.

Die #Trump-Regierung überzieht die US-#Wissenschaft mit Attacken, Repressalien und Chaos. Wie sich das konkret auf Forschende auswirkt, darüber sprach Bettina Dupont für uns mit Andrea Schorn, deutsche #RNA-Forscherin am Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory: https://www.laborjournal.de/rubric/hintergrund/hg/hg_25_04_03.php
Hintergrund - Deutsche Forscherin in den USA: Das Land setzt seine Spitzenstellung aufs Spiel

US-Präsident Donald Trump versetzt die Wissenschaft der USA mit Kündigungen, Entlassungen und Budgetkürzungen ins Chaos. Wir sprachen darüber mit der deutschen RNA-Forscherin Andrea Schorn am Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory CSHL.

RNA interference and nanomedicine join forces to fight dangerous fungal infections

Fungal infections are on the rise globally. According to a study by the Manchester Fungal Infection Group, in 2022, approximately 6.5 million people were infected by a pathogenic fungus, and about 3.8 million died as a result—nearly twice as many as in 2012. Even with medications, known as antifungals, the mortality rate for invasive infections caused by the mold Aspergillus fumigatus is as high as 85%. As resistant fungal strains increase, treatment becomes more difficult, and new therapies are urgently needed.

Ein neuer #Bluttest könnte #Parkinson bereits erkennen, bevor erste Symptome auftreten.

Forschende analysieren dabei einfach, schnell und kostengünstig spezifische #RNA-Fragmente im Blut. Der Test zeigte eine hohe #Genauigkeit und könnte die #Früherkennung sowie gezielte Therapien deutlich verbessern.

"Minor-groove interactions, KL interactions, TL/TLR interactions, three-way and four-way junctions, A-stacking. . .these sorts of things had already been observed in the ways that single strands of RNA fold up on themselves, and they're part of these multimeric structures, too."
