Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive muscle weakness. A research ...

A new study led by Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

Greedy accumulation-directed evolution generated multi-site combinatorial mutants of T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP), breaking ...

A research team has created the first complete transcriptome atlas of soybean embryo development, offering unprecedented insights into how gene ...

Immune checkpoints are regulatory proteins that prevent the immune system from attacking healthy tissues. Some cancer cells ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

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

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions.

The mRNA therapeutics field is rapidly evolving beyond vaccines to include treatments for cancer, genetic disorders and in vivo cell therapies, bringing with it diverse production challenges. As the ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have reconciled two closely related but contentious mechanisms underlying transcription, the ...
