SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A five-year, $7.5 million grant to build a new research center was presented to LSU Health Shreveport (LSUHS) by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
“The Center for Post-Transcriptional Regulation will focus on how cells regulate metabolism, the process by which the body uses and converts nutrients into energy,” a press release stated. “Researchers will study the role of RNA molecules and protein modifications in controlling these processes. Data outcomes from the grant could open doors to new biotechnological advances and provide insights relevant to conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and liver disease.”
