Using this method, the researchers noticed that radioactivity first appeared in cells' nuclei and only later in their cytoplasm. Many scientists believed these findings suggested that RNA must be ...

Another scenario would have been that the mRNA poly(A) tail was fully synthesized prior to nuclear export and was shortened in the cytoplasm. This was actually confirmed in later experiments.

In the course of these studies, we found that 3′UTRs determine where in the cytoplasm an mRNA transcript is translated. Moreover, we found that the cytoplasm is highly compartmentalized into different ...

mRNA transports the most valuable cellular information—the chemical blueprint for the production of proteins—from the nucleus ...

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

Transcription occurs in the nucleus, producing mRNA. The mRNA then exits the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cell’s cytoplasm. Prokaryotes can be split into two domains, bacteria and archaea, ...

The mature mRNA is exported from the cell nucleus via nuclear pores to the cytoplasm of the cell for translation to occur. During translation, the mRNA is read by ribosomes which use the nucleotide ...

The resulting RNA molecule, typically mRNA, carries the genetic message from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Nucleic acids are the foundation of genetic engineering techniques, ...
