mRNA Dynamics at the Single-Cell Level

Scientists have a good grasp on how mRNA is made and transported, but its behavior within the cell is less clear. Now, two recenlty published papers demonstrate a new method to follow the path mRNAs take through the cell and offer new insights into regulation of translation through mRNA sequestration.
