SUMOYLATION

Proteins are like tiny workers in our body, and they often need a bit of a tweak to do their jobs right. One such tweak is called SUMOylation. It's like adding a small tag to a protein, which can change how it works, where it hangs out in the cell, or even how long it sticks around. This tagging pr

Hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, is a big deal in biology. It affects many processes in the body. Recently, researchers found that lnc-HZ06, a long non-coding RNA, plays a role in how cells handle low oxygen. This is especially important in trophoblast cells, which are crucial for a healthy pregnancy.
