Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic code, as it is fundamentally involved in gene regulation, processing, and ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is central to gene regulation, but accurately simulating its folding is a long-standing challenge in computational biology. In a recent study, Associate Professor Tadashi Ando ...

Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise.

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes ...

Nutcracker Therapeutics is driving down costs, accelerating speed of processing and improving scalability with an end-to-end, GMP-grade production process. Healthcare is on the cusp of a ...

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

People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it lingers and causes harm, others say that idea just doesn’t hold up. A new ...

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