RNA Interference01:23

RNA Interference

28.1K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which a small non-coding RNA molecule blocks the post-transcriptional expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing the protein from being translated.
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.9K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

1.4K
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps

26.4K
Gene expression can be regulated at almost every step from gene to protein. Transcription is the step that is most commonly regulated. This involves the binding of proteins to short regulatory sequences on the DNA. This association can either promote or inhibit the transcription of a gene associated with the respective sequence.
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Multiple-object tracking (MOT) and visually guided touch interfere, but the report method matters. Touching targets during MOT impacts general interference, not differential interference, suggesting distinct underlying processes.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-computer interaction

Background:

  • Multiple-object tracking (MOT) is crucial for coordinated actions.
  • Previous studies show MOT interferes with visually guided touch.
  • Early research couldn't distinguish between shared individuation mechanisms and motor response similarity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between MOT and visually guided touch.
  • To clarify whether interference stems from shared individuation mechanisms or motor response overlap.
  • To examine the impact of different target reporting methods on task interference.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed MOT while touching colored items.
  • Target reporting methods were varied: touching, verbal identification, or typing.
  • Performance was compared between single-task and dual-task conditions.

Main Results:

  • The method of reporting MOT targets affected general interference (overall dual-task cost).
  • The target report method did not influence differential interference (dual-task advantage for touching targets).
  • A dissociation was observed between general and differential interference based on reporting method.

Conclusions:

  • General and differential interference in MOT likely involve distinct cognitive and motor processes.
  • The findings have implications for understanding action plan formation.
  • This research refines our understanding of the interplay between perception, attention, and action.
