Extracellular mRNA transported to the nucleus exerts translation-independent function

Extracellular mRNA transported to the nucleus exerts translation-independent function

Nonvesicular extracellular RNA (nex-RNA) that are not packed in extracellular vesicles is detected outside the cell, but it is poorly understood. Here the authors report that nex-RNA is captured by a zinc finger protein and transported to the nucleus to enhance antimetastatic characters of the cell.
