Micro-editing mistake translates into a devastating brain tumor.
RNA modifications are increasingly being recognized as critical players in cancer. While adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing is consistently deregulated in cancer, we are still unable to draw a straight line connecting transcript-specific editing and carcinogenesis. The findings by Choudhury et al. in this issue of the JCI bridge this gap by mechanistically implicating underediting of miR-376a* in...
متن کاملAntisense Translates into Sense
T he paradigm that DNA is the central bank of genetic information within the cell, and that portions of the DNA are copied via transcription to RNA, which is subsequently decoded to synthesize protein in a cell, is basically true throughout cellular evolution. However, it is also true that although this is a general blueprint for regulating how genes are expressed, evolution, with its varied se...
متن کاملHow the brain translates money into force: a neuroimaging study of subliminal motivation.
Unconscious motivation in humans is often inferred but rarely demonstrated empirically. We imaged motivational processes, implemented in a paradigm that varied the amount and reportability of monetary rewards for which subjects exerted physical effort. We show that, even when subjects cannot report how much money is at stake, they nevertheless deploy more force for higher amounts. Such a motiva...
متن کاملPancreatic Cancer: a rare tumor with a devastating health toll
From the diagnostic perspective, pancreatic cancer is a rare tumor. However, from a mortality perspective, pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest. In fact, pancreatic cancer is fourth among the leading causes of cancerrelated death in the United States, following lung, colon, and breast, and followed by prostate cancer. In the United States in 2010, estimates show that 43,100 individuals wil...
متن کاملSmoothened translates Hedgehog levels into distinct responses.
In the Drosophila wing, Hedgehog is made by cells of the posterior compartment and acts as a morphogen to pattern cells of the anterior compartment. High Hedgehog levels instruct L3/4 intervein fate, whereas lower levels instruct L3 vein fate. Transcriptional responses to Hedgehog are mediated by the balance between repressor and activator forms of Cubitus interruptus, CiR and CiA. Hedgehog reg...
