RNA G-quadruplexes control mitochondria-localized mRNA translation and energy metabolism - Nature Communications Cancer cells rely on mitochondria for energy and macromolecule synthesis. Here, the authors show that RNA G-quadruplex dynamics, driven by oncogenic signals, regulate the translation of nuclear-encode...

Excited to present our new @naturecomms.bsky.social paper with Stefania Millevoi's lab on the role of #RNA G-quadruplex in mitochondrial RNA. We find that
#RG4 can be exploited to inhibit mitochondrial translation and disrupt #cancer cells proliferation.

#HiSciSky! I'm an associate professor at the Department CIBIO, University of Trento.

My lab studies #RNA regulatory networks and the interplay of RNA-binding proteins in #cancer onset and progression with #compbio #biocomp methods.

Can't wait to interact with sci people on the platform!
