Scientists report that a class of drugs, called RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics, represent a major advancement in the treatment of chronic HBV infections, expanding treatment strategies.

Hepatitis B virus, a killer of more than one million people each year, is a notoriously wily virus, often lingering and resurfacing even after treatment. But, thanks to a new class of drugs, its luck ...

In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

New England Biolabs (NEB®) today announced the launch of the NEBNext Low-bias Small RNA Library Prep Kit, designed to ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Findings on sperm RNA suggest new biomarkers for IVF success, potentially improving embryo selection and reducing cycles ...

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story.

Linked to neurological disorders, repeat RNAs aggregate inside droplets but can be disassembled with an engineered piece of ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...
