Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

The field of RNA-targeted therapeutics is rapidly evolving, offering groundbreaking opportunities for the treatment of a wide array of diseases ...

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 ...

Contrary to historic understanding of RNA’s longevity in cells, some RNAs can persist in cells throughout the life of an organism. Lead authors, Martin Hetzer, PhD, president of the Institute of ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate. Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, ...

A new study shows a single RNA injection may help repair heart damage after a heart attack, reducing scarring and improving ...
