Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within ...

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 ...

Explore the breakthrough of lab-made lncRNA by University of Toronto Engineering for new drug discovery potential.

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 how genes are expressed.

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

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

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