Nerve cells optimize energy by controlling MRNA and protein distribution



Nerve cells have an amazing strategy to save energy and still perform the most important in their functions. Researchers at University Hospital Bon (UKB) and Bonn University as well as University Medical Center Gotingen found that Neuronal Energy Conservation Program Messenger RNA (MRNA) and protein determines the location and number of protein and vary depending on length, longevity basis Is. And other properties of the relevant molecule. The work is now published in Nature Communications.
