Researchers led by Davide Incarnato at the University of Groningen have demonstrated that the FDA-approved cancer drug ...

The integrity of DNA and RNA is essential for every cell. DNA contains the genetic information for proteins, while RNA serves ...

Multiple forms of double-stranded RNA (blue, magenta, orange structures) cross cell membranes with the help of a conserved protein located in novel sites (colored by depth) throughout the roundworm's ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory functions across different cellular processes. This makes them an interesting ...

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...

No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...

Sean Ryder, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, has written a book to delve the mysteries of ribonucleic acid as a tool to fight diseases. Messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, is in the public ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

Andrea Kasinski receives funding from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and the American Lung Association. She is the inventor on multiple patients associated with her ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...
