Impaired Protein Blueprint Editing Sparks Cellular Demise

An international research team has uncovered a new mechanism crucial to the production of cellular proteins. When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are inaccurately edited through a process called splicing. The study sheds light on how specific mutations may lead to the retinal disease retinitis pigmentosa. Importantly

Tennessee and Texas Climb to the Top: A Shifting Landscape in NCAA Football Rankings

 

 

Tennessee and Texas shake up college football’s NCAA Re-Rank 1-134 following significant victories


As Georgia firmly holds onto the top spot, the latest YSL News Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-134 sees major adjustments in the top five and beyond after an eventful Week 2 filled with upsets.

 

Leading the changes, Texas rises to No. 2 following their 31-12 victory over No. 25 Michigan. This reshuffles Ohio State to No. 3, despite their impressive wins against Akron and Western Michigan, where they outscored opponents 108-6. Alabama remains at No. 4, following a tighter game than anticipated against South Florida. Meanwhile, Tennessee jumps to No. 5 after a commanding 51-10 win over North Carolina State in a neutral venue.

Two teams that were previously in the top five have fallen significantly in the rankings. Oregon drops six spots to No. 12 after narrowly defeating Boise State 37-34. Although it was a solid win against a challenging Group of Five opponent, this marks the second close victory for the Ducks after a similarly tight game against Idaho.

 

In the week’s most dramatic shift, Notre Dame plunges 16 places to No. 21 following a 16-14 loss to Northern Illinois, which causes the Huskies to soar from No. 97 to No. 41.

 

Other teams making gains in the 1-134 rankings include Iowa State, which rose to No. 14 after edging out Iowa with a late field goal; Syracuse, now at No. 40, climbed 24 spots after defeating Georgia Tech; Washington State moved up to No. 46 after cruising past Texas Tech; and Texas State jumped 29 places to No. 54 after a decisive 49-10 win against Texas-San Antonio.

Conversely, Notre Dame wasn’t the only team to see a drop after Saturday’s games. North Carolina State fell 10 spots to No. 27, Georgia Tech dropped 18 to No. 42, Auburn slid 22 to No. 62, Kentucky fell 31 places to No. 69, and Mississippi State dropped 17 to No. 84.
