Glycosylated RNAs found shaping cell-to-cell communication

Original: Glycosylated RNAs travel with extracellular vesicles and shape intercellular communication

Researchers report that certain RNA molecules carry sugar modifications, or glycosylation, and travel between cells inside extracellular vesicles. The study suggests these glycosylated RNAs play a functional role in intercellular communication, potentially influencing how cells signal to one another. The findings open new questions about how RNA chemistry shapes biology beyond previously known modifications.

Why now: A new study in a leading journal reveals a surprising role for sugar-modified RNAs in cell signalling, attracting scientific attention.
