A mysterious RNA found in breast cancer led scientists to uncover an entire hidden class of cancer-specific RNAs across ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...

With big pharma signalling interest in novel RNA-targeted approaches, the term “druggable” is being redefined as technology advances.

MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells make proteins. Their starring role ...

Researchers created a 3D biomaterial implant that delivers RNA to injured spinal cord neurons. The approach silences PTEN, removes internal repair barriers, and significantly boosts neuron regrowth in ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

Although the participation of spliceosomes is almost always required for intron removal, a few types of genes have ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

Ten UB PhD candidates will show off their research and communication skills on March 6 at the 10th annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. The contest will begin at 3 p.m. in the Screening Room ...
