We’re thrilled to partner w/ @ualbany to form a NYS Center of Excellence in RNA research! Co-led by @MaquatLab @wagnerlab_rna, we'll team up to develop RNA-based therapies & train scientists. Huge thx to @HarryBBronson for his support #URochesterReesarch urmc.info/1yr

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine – discovered that base-modified mRNA can be used to block activation of inflammatory reactions and increase protein production when mRNA is delivered to cells.

Cheers to RNA biologist Lynne Maquat for officially receiving the Gruber Genetics Prize @Genetics2023 in Australia for her work on nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Proud to have you represent @UofR on an international stage! #URochesterResearch @MaquatLab urmc.info/15L

Study in @Nature details a new algorithm to find the most stable, efficient mRNA sequence to use in vaccines. Dave Mathews + @lhuang3 show optimal mRNA sequences lead to ⬆️ protein production, improved immune response @UofR @OregonState #URochesterResearch urmc.info/Wa

New #URochesterResearch in @ScienceMagazine upends the idea that #CRISPR mounts its defense only by cutting RNA/DNA. It found a Cas protein works w/ a membrane protein 👇to stop infection in bacteria. What?? @mitchellrayoco1 @arica_vanderwal @kellogg_liz urmc.info/Vy

Using guide RNA, scientists found a way to make some genetic mutations "invisible." The findings in @MolecularCell are helping the search for treatments for #CysticFibrosis & #neurofibromatosis

Its finally officially out! Collection of great #lncrna reviews in special issue of Mammalian Genome link.springer.com/journal/33… great job from all the authors and fellow editors @carninci @MaquatLab @SValadkhan

Scientists discover that the AKT signaling pathway, important for cell survival and growth, is an unexpected effector of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Upregulation of AKT signaling contributes to hyperactivation of NMD. @MaquatLab
