Scientists have developed an adaptable materials platform that can safely and efficiently deliver a wide range of genetic ...

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

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.

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

The tiny fatty capsules that delivered COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little ...

With big pharma signalling interest in novel RNA-targeted approaches, the term “druggable” is being redefined as technology ...

A mysterious RNA found in breast cancer led scientists to uncover an entire hidden class of cancer-specific RNAs across ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Diabetic foot ulcers are slow-healing and increase the risk of infections and amputation. Researchers at Karolinska ...

A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...
