Introduction

RNA-protein interactions regulate essential biological processes like mRNA stability, splicing, translation, and transport. These interactions are crucial for understanding cellular responses, differentiation, and homeostasis. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central to these processes, making their study essential for understanding post-transcriptional regulation.…

Introduction

RNA methylation has emerged as a vital layer of gene expression regulation, influencing how RNA molecules behave in the cell. By modifying specific nucleotides within RNA, cells can fine-tune the stability, splicing, localization, and translation of transcripts. These effects are crucial for maintaining cellular function and are increasingly implicated in human diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and immune dysregulation.
