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 brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A single self‑amplifying RNA injection that boosts a heart‑healing peptide cut scarring and improved function after heart attacks ...

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 ...

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate. Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, ...
