New clues to how RNA leaves the nucleus

HHMI researchers have developed a new technique that selectively blocks the export of messenger RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of living mammalian cells. The technique, which uses cell-permeable peptides to ferry inhibitory molecules into the cell, offers a new opportunity for researchers to understand the roles of individual proteins.
