Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- A large-scale screen of RNA-binding proteins was reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
- The screen identified factors that can control the production, stability and translation of circular RNAs (circRNAs).
- The paper is doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01913-5, published online 9 November 2026.

## Why it matters

It identifies specific proteins that regulate circRNAs at several steps of their life cycle, which could inform future studies of RNA regulation.
