Summary
Posttranscriptional regulation mediated by RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs is essential for proper development of the embryo. This is due to the fact that the embryo is a very dynamic system in which cells have to acquire new characteristics rapidly or have to migrate to distant places in the organism. Scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics study functions of RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs (miRNAs) in the developing mouse embryo.
