🚀 New in RNA Biology!
Our talented Asst. Professor, Ting-Yu Lin, and PhD Student, Yasmin Stone, have co-authored a fantastic review with Prof. Sebastian Glatt from Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology on how the RNA modification, pseudouridylation (Ψ), shapes RNA structure, stability & function.
This work demonstrated enhanced stability and certain structural changes in four human tRNAs before, and after, the incorporation of pseudouridine (Ψ).
