More challenging than a 🌽maze!
We still don't know what many #RNA helicases do in #plants, but today Yang et al. get us one step closer with their study of the #maize DEAD-box RNA helicase ZmRH48.

Liquid biopsies, which use just a blood draw to test for cancer, are a promising technology for catching the disease early on when it’s most treatable.
UC Santa Cruz Assistant Prof. of Biomolecular Engineering Daniel Kim and his lab have shown that an innovative approach for this tech that uses sequencing of RNA “dark matter” in the blood significantly improves disease detection.

A handheld, at-home #water quality test created by a scientific start-up has received a $3 million grant. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) will fund Northwestern project to develop and distribute water-quality test kits in the Chicago area. The #lead and #copper tests are based on #ROSALIND “#RNA output sensors activated by ligand induction” whereas #PFAS test will combine ROSALIND technology with new chemical technological breakthroughs. https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/handheld-device-aims-to-allow-households-to-assess-drinking-water-safety-status/article

Wisdom on Aging from the RNA World: Old Molecules in Young Roles
presented by Myriam Gorospe
Aug 3, 2023
A lot covered in this talk - can't remember it all.
Some highlights:
- senescent oligodendrocyte precursor cells & Alzheimer Disease
- senolytics for AD treatment
- lncRNAs, circular RNAs, etc.
- BAFF (brief mention of autoimmunity & BAFF, multiple sclerosis)
- possibility of universal RNA signature of senescence
- miR-340 binds to Lamin B receptor RNA
