A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...

The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific functions at the exact right time. If they don't, serious diseases—ALS, ...

Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a powerful new technology that can map the entire network of RNA-protein interactions inside human cells - an achievement that ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai say they have made a new discovery about how human cells make RNA, a molecule that functions as a set of blueprints that tell cells how to ...

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.
