The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that human cells initiate self-destruction processes when viruses disrupt RNA production, ...

RNA-based vaccines were the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic. They set records for the highest-grossing drug launches in history, and their development was recognized in this year’s Nobel Prize in ...

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 ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes blister-like skin rashes, and influenza viruses ...

RNA splicing is a major nexus of gene expression regulation, shaping cellular identity during development, frequently altered in human cancers. This process is mediated by a complex molecular ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs - single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis - and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this ...

Novo Nordisk has both internal research and external alliances pursuing new drugs that could shape the next generation of metabolic medicines. The pharmaceutical giant’s latest move is a partnership ...
