New Mechanism Detected in Alzheimer’s Disease by Neuroscience News McGill researchers report RNA that encodes synaptic proteins degrades more rapidly in Alzheimer's patients. Read more of this post NHuman cells produce thousands of different types of RNAs to carry genetic information. RNAs also decay constantly, and the balance between production and degradation determines how much of a given RNA is present in the cell. Yet scientists know relatively little about how RNA decay is controlled, largely because methods of measuring degradation have been expensive and not applicable to human tissues.
