A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

Nanoparticles that deliver self-amplifying RNA were found to reduce scarring and improve heart function in animals following ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

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 ...

An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...
