RNA 'delivery tags' guide key messages to distant neuron branches
Phys.org ·
Much like a courier reading an address on a package, neurons must deliver RNA to the precise locations where it is needed. A KAIST research team has discovered how a small chemical modification on RNA acts as a "delivery tag," helping selected RNAs travel to distant regions of neurons.
