RNA G-quadruplexes form scaffolds that promote neuropathological α-synuclein aggregation Calcium influx-induced RNA G-quadruplex assembly accelerates α-synuclein phase transition and neuropathological aggregation.

Great reads this past week!

✨ Coup de cœur of the week:
Intriguing model: excessive Ca²⁺ influx induces RNA G-quadruplex formation, thereby driving pathogenic α-synuclein aggregation

RNA-Stabilized Coat Proteins for Sensitive and Simultaneous Imaging of Distinct Single mRNAs in Live Cells RNA localization and regulation are critical for cellular function, yet many live RNA imaging tools suffer from limited sensitivity due to background emissions from unbound probes. Here, we introduce ...

Destabilized MS2 and PP7 coat proteins when unbound to RNA!!?! Brilliant 🤩
