RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...

An international team of scientists has designed a new type of therapy to target the mutant toxic RNA that causes myotonic ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

A study of a bacteria commonly used in dairy fermentation revealed how organized RNA helixes, called riboswitches, can combine different signals to keep gene expression in check. Researchers from the ...

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. A newly revealed “aging cliff” in sperm RNA marks a conserved molecular transition from youth to later life, offering fresh insight into how a father’s age may influence the ...

When scientists sliced into a block of Siberian permafrost and pulled out a woolly mammoth nicknamed Yuka, they expected to ...
