MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The first miRNA was discovered less than 20 years ago in the context of studying Caenorabditis elegans development. The discovery of the second miR ...
Protein synthesis is one of the central elements in every living cell. For this process, mRNAs coding for genes are simultaneously competing for the same translation machinery (ribosomes and amino acids). But the ultimate determinants of cellular functions ...
Early ocular development is controlled by a complex network of transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, and diffusible signalling molecules. Together, these molecules regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis, and specify retinal fate. NKX5-3 is a hom ...
PURPOSE. Knowledge of genetic factors predisposing to age-related cataract is very limited. The aim of this study was to identify DNA sequences that either lead to or predispose for this disease. ...
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dehalogenases are the key catalysts in the respiratory chain of dehalorespiring microorganisms, where they act as the terminal electron-accepting enzymes in the process. On protein level, reductive dehalogenases have been ...
Translation lies at the heart of every living organism, it is the process synthesizing the proteins, a main component in the cells. Earlier studies have considered protein synthesis as mainly initiation limited, modeling it as a first-order reaction with r ...
Time-delays are common in many physical and biological systems and they give rise to complex dynamic phenomena. The elementary processes involved in template biopolymerization, such as mRNA and protein synthesis, introduce significant time delays. However, ...

Protein synthesis is one of the central elements in every living cell. For this process, the mRNAs coding for genes are simultaneously competing for the same translation machinery, i.e. for the same ribosomes and the same protein building blocks, the amino ...
The sequencing of genomes of several organisms and advances in high throughput technologies for transcriptome and proteome anal. has allowed detailed mechanistic studies of transcription and translation using math. frameworks that allow integration of both ...
