    'Cells found to have emergency RNA reserves'
    http://www.nature.com/news/2005/051017/full/051017-14.html

    Cells keep stores of RNA that they can use in case of emergencies, such as stressful conditions.

    This could be a new form of gene regulation...that is if it is a general mechanism???!!!

    What else is lurking in our cells?
