RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...

RNA viruses frequently bypass the conventional 5′ cap‐dependent mechanism of translation by employing alternative strategies that enable them to commandeer the host’s translational machinery. A ...

Fred Hutch researchers invent a CRISPR screening method to understand RNA-binding proteins often mutated in cancer and other diseases In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

The vector consists of a polyethylene glycolylated liposomal outer coat (providing immune evasion and prolonged circulation), a spindle-shaped nanomotor (resembling a flagellum, facilitating targeted ...

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.

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...

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