Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...
A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...
An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...
With AI, it's now possible for researchers to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins directly from their ...
Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...
A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...
A Japanese team, which detected DNA and RNA bases in this asteroid's samples, also shared a disclaimer.
Researchers boosted levels of a heart-healing hormone in mice and pigs with a single injection of a new, experimental form of ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...
A laboratory test — or assay — developed in Sudbury, Ont., to measure the effectiveness of chemotherapy is one step closer to ...
