Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

An international team of scientists has designed a new type of therapy to target the mutant toxic RNA that causes myotonic ...

RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

Crystal structure of the NHL domain of mouse TRIM71 complexed with a stem-loop structured Trincr1 RNA motif. Detailed interactions between key residues of TRIM71 and Trincr1 RNA are shown in an ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

A study of a bacteria commonly used in dairy fermentation revealed how organized RNA helixes, called riboswitches, can combine different signals to keep gene expression in check. Researchers from the ...

Increasing paternal age has been linked to elevated health risks for the next generation, including higher risks of obesity ...

The gold standard for nucleic acid detection uses PCR to amplify the nucleic acid followed by gel electrophoresis or fluorescent label for detection. As such, PCR is not suitable for in situ ...

When scientists sliced into a block of Siberian permafrost and pulled out a woolly mammoth nicknamed Yuka, they expected to ...
