Second, there may exist a distinct kind of particle which binds the RNA messenger, protects it, and possibly even stores it in the cytoplasm till it is needed. The existence of these hypothetical particles, which are called "informosomes," or information-carriers, was first postulated by Russian scientists working with fish embryos four years ago. Using essentially their...
