WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Like tiny superheroes, small, naturally occurring segments of RNA can block multiple molecular paths that cancer cells use to grow and spread, a substantial advantage over even ...

A team of researchers has recently demonstrated the utility of employing a previously established screening system to probe the interactions between small molecules and RNA. Their study is published ...

A team led by UNC School of Medicine researchers is the first to confirm that a small molecule called miR-29 plays a role in driving aging. Their new findings are published in Communications Biology.

A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside biomedical scientists has identified a small, previously overlooked small RNA molecule that plays a major role in controlling the ...

Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method—CRISPR—sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...

Scientists on their quest to find the origin of life have stared into the primordial soup, trying to answer the ultimate chicken-and-egg question: Which came first, the genetic code or the proteins ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

A molecule so small it could fit on a Post-it note of genetic code has just pulled off something scientists have chased for decades: copying itself without any help from the protein machinery that ...

Proteins that trigger cell senescence occupy much of the literature on aging, but a small RNA moves into the limelight. Further investigation into SNORA13 revealed that it modifies RNA bases in the ...

With the question of immunotherapeutics’ efficacy answered in the resounding affirmative, the challenge has shifted to the practical considerations of how to cost-effectively manufacture these highly ...
