New Class of RNA Molecules May Be Important in Human Cancer, Ohio State University Study Shows
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Research here shows that an obscure form of RNA, part of the protein-making machinery in all cells, might play an important role in human cancer.
These ultraconserved noncoding RNAs (UCRs) have been considered “junk” by some researchers, but a new report in the September issue of the journal Cancer Cell indicates that this may not be the case.
