Revisiting an earlier discussion of his hard-line stance on misspelling, host Kevin Patton clarifies the history and context of his current strategy. Plus updates on macrophages that line joints and sugar-coated RNA —and tips on safely labeling our lab models.

glycoRNA
6 minutes
Yep, yet another form of RNA has been discovered. This "sugar-coated" RNA is a small, noncoding RNA called Y RNA that has been glycosylated with an N-glycan. What do glycoRNAs do? What does that mean? Listen and learn.

- Mammalian Y RNAs are modified at discrete guanosine residues with N-glycans (research article) my-ap.us/2KcmvQc

Barrier Macrophages
11 minutes
We knew there were macrophages within, and upon, the synovial membrane that lines synovial joints. What we have just learned is that macrophages on the synovial membrane surface can bind with tight junctions to form a barrier layer. Go figure.

Labeling Lab Models
