LINC01503-MP is a Mitochondrial Microprotein That Promotes Cell Proliferation and Oxidative Metabolism.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are well-established as key regulators of gene expression. However, emerging evidence reveals that some lncRNAs can also encode functional microproteins. In this study, ...
