Beyond the Code: How 3' UTR Diversity Shapes Cell Fate and Disease

by David

Beyond the DNA code itself lies a hidden layer of control - the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of messenger RNA (mRNA). This tail-like region, though not translated into protein, plays a surprising role in shaping a cell's destiny. Multiple cleavage sites in the 3'UTR allow cells to choose which portion gets added, resulting in diverse mRNA forms. This diversity impacts how efficiently the mRNA is translated into protein. Researchers are finding connections...
