Intracellular RNA sorting, transport and localization

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology volume 12, pages 826–829 (2005)Cite this article

RNA localization and translational control are crucial for cellular fine-tuning of gene expression in space and time. A recent meeting in Tucson, Arizona pointed out mechanisms conserved across different species and cell types that contribute to the establishment of cell polarity and cell migration. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly clear that these post-transcriptional control processes are relevant for various diseases.
