In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...

To solve a problem, scientists first need to see it clearly. Whether it’s a virus slipping past the immune system or plaques forming in the brain, visualization is the first step toward finding ...

RNA-based medicine is about to take a huge leap forward thanks to the discovery of extremely short RNA fragments with ...

RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

New research from scientists at the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine and Duke University describes how cellular RNA helps regulate antiviral signaling as part of the immune response ...

Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...

A new role has been uncovered for a cell's own RNA in fending off attacks by RNA viruses. Some of the cell's RNA molecules, researchers found, help regulate antiviral signaling. These signals are part ...

In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...

The interaction between RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) has emerged as a key area of interest in understanding cancer biology. As critical regulators of gene expression, RBPs ...
