This study strengthens caution of quickly extrapolating animal model studies to humans, and vice versa.
“…the assessment of human–animal relationships is important for translational studies. We believe that our data will also help to identify which species should be used in specific settings or as an animal model.” #physiology #animalmodels #Proteomics #biology #translationalscience

'When exposed to stress, mRNAs released after translational arrest condense with RNA binding proteins, resulting in the formation of membraneless RNA protein (RNP) condensates known as processing bodies (P-bodies) and stress granules (SGs). However, the impact of the assembly of these condensates on the biophysical properties of the crowded cytoplasmic environment remains unclear.'
