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

During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology (BIOL), Wei Sun, a chemical biologist at ...

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 ...

Immunologists from the Babraham Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA-binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

With AI, it's now possible for researchers to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins directly from their ...

Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins ...

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a short-lived molecule copied from DNA that enables cells to use genetic information. Specific DNA sequences are copied into RNA, which then delivers these instructions to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
