Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

While targeted protein and RNA degradation are hot areas for R&D, the drugs developed so far come with limitations. Now, a new class with broader applications may not be far off. In a study published ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

A group of interdisciplinary Boston University researchers worked together to investigate the promising technology of self-amplifying RNA as a way to deliver lifesaving drugs and create more effective ...

RNA is often described as the single-stranded cousin of DNA, the double-stranded molecule that makes up the genomes of all living organisms. Many types of non-living viruses, however, carry their ...

Northwestern University in Illinois, US, has announced a new method for detecting RNA modification patterns in blood samples that could enhance early colon cancer detection. This was detailed in a ...

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a ...
