• Gold octahedra nanoparticles (Au_0.03 and Au_0.045): Synthesis and impact on marine clams Ruditapes decussatus 

  Fkiri, Anis; Sellami, Badreddine; Selmi, Aymen; Khazri, Abdelhafidh; Saidani, Wiem; Imen, Bouzidi; Sheehan, David; Hamouda, Beyrem; Smiri, Leila Samia (Elsevier, 2018-07-05)

  The increased use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in several applications has led to a rise in concerns about their potential toxicity to aquatic organisms. In addition, toxicity of nanoparticles to aquatic organisms is ...
• Genome-wide changes in protein translation efficiency are associated with autism 

  Rogozin, Igor B.; Gertz, E. Michael; Baranov, Pasha V.; Poliakov, Eugenia; Schaffer, Alejandro A. (Oxford University Press, 2018)

  We previously proposed that changes in the efficiency of protein translation are associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This hypothesis connects environmental factors and genetic factors because each can alter ...
• BC200 (BCYRN1) – The shortest, long, non-coding RNA associated with cancer 

  Samson, Julia; Cronin, S.; Dean, Kellie (Elsevier, 2018)

  With the discovery that the level of RNA synthesis in human cells far exceeds what is required to express protein-coding genes, there has been a concerted scientific effort to identify, catalogue and uncover the biological ...
• Effects of acute aerobic exercise on rats serum extracellular vesicles diameter, concentration and small RNAs content 

  Oliveira Jr., Getulio P.; Porto, William F.; Palu, Cintia C.; Pereira, Lydyane M.; Petriz, Bernardo; Almeida, Jeeser A.; Viana, Juliane; Filho, Nezio N. A.; Franco, Octavio L.; Pereira, Rinaldo W. (Frontiers Media SA, 2018)

  Physical exercise stimulates organs, mainly the skeletal muscle, to release a broad range of molecules, recently dubbed exerkines. Among them, RNAs, such as miRNAs, piRNAs, and tRNAs loaded in extracellular vesicles (EVs) ...
• TASEP modelling provides a parsimonious explanation for the ability of a single uORF to derepress translation during the integrated stress response 

  Andreev, Dmitry E.; Arnold, Maxim; Kiniry, Stephen J.; Loughran, Gary; Michel, Audrey M.; Rachinskii, Dmitrii; Baranov, Pavel V. (elife, 2018)

  Translation initiation is the rate-limiting step of protein synthesis that is downregulated during the Integrated Stress Response (ISR). Previously, we demonstrated that most human mRNAs that are resistant to this inhibition ...
