Uncovering Hidden Consistency in Cellular Research Models
COS/BioE Professor Meni Wanunu and BioE Associate Professor Sara Rouhanifard’s research on “Pseudouridine reprogramming in the human T cell epitranscriptome: from primary to immortalized states” was published in RNA. In their study comparing pseudouridine (ψ) profiles in primary human T cells and Jurkat cell lines, they found that while 87% of core RNA modification patterns are conserved, the remaining 13% differ in biologically significant ways, suggesting immortalized cells are a surprisingly consistent yet imperfect model for study.
