Excited to present our new @naturecomms.bsky.social paper with Stefania Millevoi's lab on the role of #RNA G-quadruplex in mitochondrial RNA. We find that #RG4 can be exploited to inhibit mitochondrial translation and disrupt #cancer cells proliferation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

RNA G-quadruplexes control mitochondria-localized mRNA translation and energy metabolism - Nature Communications
Cancer cells rely on mitochondria for energy and macromolecule synthesis. Here, the authors show that RNA G-quadruplex dynamics, driven by oncogenic signals, regulate the translation of nuclear-encode...

#HiSciSky! I'm an associate professor at the Department CIBIO, University of Trento. My lab studies #RNA regulatory networks and the interplay of RNA-binding proteins in #cancer onset and progression with #compbio #biocomp methods. Can't wait to interact with sci people on the platform!
