Editorial: RNA-assisted protein folding Robin FÃ¥hraeus and Marc Blondel n recent years there has been an explosion in the interest and understanding of the variety of different functions mediated by RNA molecules, in particular following the discovery that some RNAs bear an enzymatic activity (ribozymes). Apart from Small RNAs have cell biological functions the long term standing models of mediating information from DNA to proteins and as parts of the ribosomal complex, RNA molecules and in particular different types of small RNA molecules have been shown to play important roles in many cell biological processes. The most widely applied function is perhaps the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to control gene expression. Most importantly, some recent developments in the research on non-coding RNA functions have opened up the eyes of scientists to the vast array of possibilities and functions of RNA molecules. Indeed, RNA can regulate different aspects of cellular processes and has a link to different diseases, in particular neurodegenerative diseases. And as the sheer number of non-coding RNAs is estimated in the 100s of thousands, it is clear that the rapid expansion of this field will continue over the foreseeable future. A particular aspect of
