We are pleased to share with you RNA Translated, the Center for RNA Biomedicine's annual magazine and brief report.
RNA Translated's main focus is on "2020, the year of the RNA viruses," with representative contributions from 10 RNA faculty members. We also feature our two Research Cores and broadly report on the Center's activity with a few highlights. With this publication, we aim to showcase the outstanding achievements and deep impact of the scientific collaborations emerging from the U-M RNA research community.
Special thanks to our all contributors.
We hope you enjoy the read!

Dr. Todd will serve as co-director of a Fragile X Center without walls with investigators at Michigan, Baylor College of Medicine, and Emory University. This Fragile X Center is one of three recently funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH). Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of intellectual and developmental disability (IDD), and the repeat that causes Fragile X Syndrome can also result in neurodegeneration and premature ovarian failure. The center will receive $9 million over the next 5 years. See Dr. Todd's "featured scientist" profile.

Translational control in aging and neurodegeneration
These new findings point to nodes in posttranscriptional gene regulation that both contribute to aging and offer targets for therapy.

Transcriptome analysis of primary podocytes reveals novel calcium regulated regulatory networks
Comparison of the ex vivo transcriptional response from the primary podocyte culture with glomerular transcripts across a wide spectrum of CKD disease confirmed co‐regulation of transcript sets, establishing the disease relevance of the model system. Our findings demonstrate novel [Ca2+] regulated gene networks in podocytes deepening our understanding of podocyte biology and disease.
