Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model explained ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...

Researchers led by Davide Incarnato at the University of Groningen have demonstrated that the FDA-approved cancer drug mitoxantrone works against RNA not simply by attaching to it, but by forcing it ...

RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA vaccines and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) therapies. But while health care ...

The AIRFoundry facility — funded by a six-year, $18 million National Science Foundation grant — brings together researchers ...

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...

New research shows how certain orphan noncoding RNA — oncRNA — can be predictable enough to be a ‘bar code’ identifying ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...

The molecular pathways involved in antiviral defenses and counter-defenses in host-pathogen systems remain unclear. Researchers have used Neurospora crassa as a model organism to explore how RNA ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...
