Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Scientists extracted RNA from a 130-year-old specimen, uncovering which genes were active before the animal went extinct.

Sean Ryder, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, has written a book to delve the mysteries of ribonucleic acid as a tool to fight diseases. Messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, is in the public ...

Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men — and ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a conserved small RNA molecule that enables bacteriophages ...

A therapy based on messenger RNA (mRNA), a genetic material actively studied for vaccines and other applications, has turned ...

A recent study has reported that a short-acting mRNA therapy can rejuvenate immune function in older mice by compensating for ...

Changing just one atom in a COVID-19 vaccine lipid redirects delivery from the liver to the spleen, improving tumor ...

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in muscle mass and fatty tissue. This cancer-induced cachexia (CIC) is ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on a critical molecular mechanism underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to findings published in the journal Neuron.

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like this one complicate matters.
