When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have shown that an important class of DNA-binding factors can also bind to RNA, regulating gene expression through various mechanisms. The study significantly ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

Researchers have used cryo-EM and computational tools to visualize ribozyme assembly, shedding light on life's most versatile ...

A University of California, Irvine-led research team has discovered intricate molecular mechanisms driving the RNA processing defects that lead to Huntington's disease and link HD with other ...

Both microtubule-binding protein tau and RNA-binding protein TDP-43 have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, including in co-pathological deposition with each ...

Trypanosomes are parasites that cause deadly diseases in humans and animals, such as Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), Chagas disease, and Nagana in cattle. According to the World ...
