Study uncovers how harmful RNA clumps form — and a way to dissolve them

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...

Study uncovers how harmful RNA clumps form — and a way to dissolve them

RNA clusters (green colored) gradually disassemble within biomolecular condensates (magenta colored), returning the RNA to a soluble state. This occured after an antisense oligonucleotide engineered ...
