Stress‐induced mRNP granules: Form and function of processing bodies and stress granules
In response to stress, cells must quickly reprogram gene expression to adapt and survive.
This is achieved in part by altering levels of mRNAs and their translation into proteins …

What makes a protein sequence a prion?
Typical amyloid diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's were thought to exclusively
result from de novo aggregation, but recently it was shown that amyloids formed in one cell …
