FINDINGS: A long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) prevents programmed cell death during one of the final stages of red blood cell differentiation, according to Whitehead Institute researchers. This is the first time a lncRNA has been found to play a role in red blood cell development and the first time a lncRNA has been shown to affect programmed cell death. RELEVANCE: Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, occurs in many cell development pathways; preventing normal cell death is a key step in the...
