Abstract

Cellular distribution of biomolecules is important for regulating their function. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Chouaib et al., 2020 employ genetically tagged human cell lines to investigate the subcellular distribution of specific mRNAs and their encoded proteins, revealing several instances of localized translation with distinctive regulatory implications.
