A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

A new sequencing-based method uses molecular barcodes to trace synaptic connections among neurons. The approach enables large-scale brain circuit mapping and may help reveal how neural networks change ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

Nanoparticles that deliver self-amplifying RNA were found to reduce scarring and improve heart function in animals following ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A single self‑amplifying RNA injection that boosts a heart‑healing peptide cut scarring and improved function after heart attacks ...

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...
