Study reveals how cells regulate repair protein production to prevent DNA damage over-repair or under-repair, aiding cell ...

No longer a mere assistant who carries out the commands of DNA, RNA takes the lead in emerging therapeutics.

An RNA switch is a synthetic mRNA molecule designed to regulate the translation of a gene in response to specific intracellular signals, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) or proteins.

Professor Hirohide Saito and his research team have developed a new microRNA-responsive hybrid mRNA switch, enabling precise, ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids found in the nucleus of the cells in every living organism. Both nucleic acids participate in the coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. The mechanism ...

RNA is generally single-stranded, as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is read by ribosomes to generate protein (translation).

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome.

BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

A new tool called PHOTON, developed by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, can identify RNA molecules at their ...
