cellular structures called organelles, which traditionally thought of as being encased by membranes.
In the Nature Communications study, UTSW researchers also reported how miR - 17 causes cyst proliferation: the molecule essentially reprograms the metabolism of kidney cells so that
cellular structures called mitochondria use less nutrients, freeing up resources to instead make cell parts that become cysts.
RNA was once thought to be a mere middleman, carrying genetic messages from the DNA in the nucleus out to
cellular structures called ribosomes, where it directs the production of proteins.
