Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the ...

A new study shows cells use dual RNA signals to control microRNA lifespan. This selective process protects gene regulation ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

A new study in Nature has mapped, at atomic resolution, how the enzyme DICER slices precursor microRNAs at exactly the right ...

UT Southwestern discovery could lead to a novel approach for treating heart disease and fatty liver disease. Two researchers ...

A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over ...

The study analyzed blood plasma samples from more than a thousand North Carolinians over the age of 71 that were collected in ...

An Australian tech entrepreneur has helped create what appears to be a made-to-measure cancer vaccine for his dog, Rosie ...

Cataracts remain one of the world’s leading causes of vision loss, touching nearly every family at some point. Even when ...

One dog, one vaccine, one data point. The story of Rosie is fascinating – but it is not yet evidence that AI can beat cancer.

Scientists have developed some incredibly advanced ways to actually visualize gene activity in tissues. A sample of tissue ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical ...
