Discovery of Missing Link in mRNA Delivery to Brain Cells.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org
Scientists have discovered a protein complex, named FERRY, that links mRNA to intra-cellular carriers, and elucidates its role and structure. The discovery may lead to a better understanding of neurological disorders caused by FERRY malfunction and possibly to new medical targets. The results are detailed in two recent works, published back-to-back in the journal Molecular Cell.
