RNAi and the P-body connection (original) (raw)

Nature Cell Biology volume 7, pages 643–644 (2005)Cite this article

Cytoplasmic processing bodies, also known as P-bodies, concentrate enzymes that are involved in mRNA turnover and sequester mRNAs away from the translational machinery. Strong evidence now connects the RNA interference machinery with P-body formation.
