Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

While targeted protein and RNA degradation are hot areas for R&D, the drugs developed so far come with limitations. Now, a new class with broader applications may not be far off. In a study published ...

A group of interdisciplinary Boston University researchers worked together to investigate the promising technology of self-amplifying RNA as a way to deliver lifesaving drugs and create more effective ...

RNA is often described as the single-stranded cousin of DNA, the double-stranded molecule that makes up the genomes of all living organisms. Many types of non-living viruses, however, carry their ...

Diagnosing heart failure in women can be particularly challenging. New research on biomarkers may lead to more accurate ...

Northwestern University in Illinois, US, has announced a new method for detecting RNA modification patterns in blood samples that could enhance early colon cancer detection. This was detailed in a ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called ...

Researchers fhave created a new type of drug molecule that can precisely destroy TERRA, an RNA molecule that helps certain ...

One of the most frightening things about Alzheimer's disease is how difficult it is to diagnose early. Now, University of ...
