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 ...

Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding snippets of RNA are bracketed by a guanine-thymine (GT) nucleotide sequence ...

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’ ...

Deciphering the spatial, temporal and chemical complexity of RNA molecules in living systems is key to understanding gene regulation at the molecular level. Recent advances in imaging, molecular ...

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 ...

Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

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