According to research from a team at the University of Utah Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, ...

Researchers find obelisks, mysterious RNA molecules in human bacteria that challenge our understanding of viruses and ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

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.

This work presents a redox-responsive strategy for precise RNA control via post-synthetic 2′-OH acylation. These introduced disulfide-containing acyl groups can be selectively cleaved upon exposure to ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

As climate change and human activity threaten freshwater ecosystems like lakes and rivers, it’s more important than ever to know how the species who inhabit them are being impacted. But traditional ...
