The instructions of life encoded in our genes are decoded through the translation into mRNA, which then instructs the synthesis of proteins. Because mRNA translation is an essential process, it is carefully coordinated through "translational control." However, defects in translational control and protein synthesis lead to many pathologies, which makes mRNA translation an important therapeutic target for many human diseases.
