As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, which is known to be the cause of various ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Certain types of biochemical processes can impair the immune system's ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Purdue ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

The collaboration will explore RNA-based small molecule drug candidates aimed at neurological conditions where existing ...

Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently ...

A new study, led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), identified tiny pieces of messenger RNA that ...

Researchers identified messenger RNA that is missing in pediatric high-grade glioma tumors but not in normal brain tissues.

New research published in Nature has uncovered powerful evidence that may explain why a new chemical modification of RNA is ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) then carries the appropriate amino acids into the ribosome for inclusion in the new protein. Meanwhile, the ribosomes themselves consist largely of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules.

RNA is a crucial linchpin of many cellular activities, including the process by which genetic material is expressed as proteins. The more scientists study RNA, the more surprises they continue to ...
