Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Federal investment in RNA vaccine research has supported nearly three decades of scientific work spanning infectious diseases, cancer, and vaccine development, but recent and proposed funding cuts ...

Lipid nanoparticles deliver mRNA to insulin-producing beta cells, prompting them to express a protective protein that shields them from autoimmune attack.

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Sepsis and acute infection remain among the most challenging conditions in emergency and critical care, where high-stakes ...

A new biotech has taken flight as a result of Novartis’ red-hot $12 billion acquisition of muscular dystrophy specialist Avidity Biosciences. | A new biotech has risen from the ashes of Novartis’ ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

Researchers have found that targeted delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) can restore sperm production and fertility in genetically infertile male mice. The findings, published in Stem Cell Reports, ...

The tiny fatty capsules that delivered COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little disorganized. That's the surprising finding from researchers who developed a ...

Scientists discover QT45, a self-replicating RNA molecule, offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.
