The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific functions at the exact right time. If they don't, serious diseases—ALS, ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai say they have made a new discovery about how human cells make RNA, a molecule that functions as a set of blueprints that tell cells how to ...

Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a powerful new technology that can map the entire network of RNA-protein interactions inside human cells - an achievement that ...

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.

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 ...

When a neuron in our body gets damaged, segments of RNA produce proteins that can help repair the injury. But in neurological disorders such as ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, or following spinal ...

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...

ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...
