How often do we think of RNA as a mere messenger, shuttling genetic instructions between DNA and proteins, rather than the master architect in the construction of cellular structures? While most are familiar with RNA’s role in transcription and translation, the idea that RNA molecules, particularly long ones, could be responsible for organizing intricate, membrane-lessPosted by Neelabh Datta, on 28 October 2024
Have you ever wondered what happens when cells lose control over their microtubule machinery during mitosis? This cellular machinery, when functioning properly, ensures that chromosomes are correctly segregated, preventing aneuploidy and mitotic catastrophe. However, when a protein called CKAP5, which plays a major role in maintaining the stability of microtubule attachments to kinetochores, is knocked
