Real-time single-molecule visualization of transcription and splicing in living cells reveals that RNA synthesis and processing can occur through multiple pathways on the same gene.
Inhibiting PRMT1 enzymatic activity promotes megakaryocyte terminal differentiation via RBM15-mediated RNA metabolism, which is dysregulated in hematological malignancies.
The accumulation of SIRT4 in the nuclei of kidney cells drives kidney fibrosis, so blocking the movement of this protein could be a potential therapeutic strategy against fibrosis.

Mouse TRIP13 localizes to synapsed chromosomal axes and thus exhibits mutually exclusive localization with HORMAD1/HORMAD2, providing a cell biological explanation for dissociation of HORMAD1/2 from chromosomal axes upon synapsis.
