Neurons stochastically generated up to eight different versions of a protein regulating neurotransmitter release, which could vary how they communicate with other cells. Neurons are talkers. They each ...

Researchers are edging closer to something long imagined but never quite within reach: a single vaccine platform that could ...

CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

A group of interdisciplinary Boston University researchers worked together to investigate the promising technology of self-amplifying RNA as a way to deliver lifesaving drugs and create more effective ...

Hebrew University study proposes a new model suggesting that disrupted RNA editing within pancreatic beta cells might initiate an inflammatory response akin to early-stage type 1 diabetes. This new ...

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA vaccines and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) therapies. But while health care ...

While targeted protein and RNA degradation are hot areas for R&D, the drugs developed so far come with limitations. Now, a new class with broader applications may not be far off. In a study published ...

RNA therapies are emerging as a promising treatment for cancer, but some types of the disease don’t respond well to it. Now, scientists at Tel Aviv University have demonstrated a way to use RNA drugs ...
