Description

Jimmy Ly and co-authors review how cells control the making and breaking of messenger RNA as they move through the cell cycle, in work from 2026. Dividing cells must remodel their gene activity at each stage, and attention has long focused on gene switching and protein changes.

The review argues that RNA decay and the control of protein production from RNA matter just as much. Across the cycle's phases, cells adjust both overall and gene-specific RNA stability to support DNA copying, growth, checkpoint signaling, and chromosome separation. During division itself, gene switching nearly stops, so cells depend on these RNA-level controls to keep working and stay alive.
