Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

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 ...

A study of a bacteria commonly used in dairy fermentation revealed how organized RNA helixes, called riboswitches, can combine different signals to keep gene expression in check. Researchers from the ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

The field of RNA-targeted therapeutics is rapidly evolving, offering groundbreaking opportunities for the treatment of a wide array of diseases ...

Contrary to historic understanding of RNA’s longevity in cells, some RNAs can persist in cells throughout the life of an organism. Lead authors, Martin Hetzer, PhD, president of the Institute of ...

New research identifies a critical RNA recycling system that prevents cellular "clogging," offering a new path for anti-aging ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...
