Technion scientists are deciphering a mechanism that integrates all the stages of the mRNA lifecycle into a unified system Researchers from the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion have uncovered a mechanism that coordinates the multi-stage process of gene expression: i.e., translating the information stored in the DNA into proteins. The study, published in… Read More
