Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

Explore RNA interference methods, comparing siRNA and shRNA for gene knockdown, their mechanisms, advantages, and ...

Aperture Therapeutics is advancing APRTX-003, an RNA-based antisense therapy targeting MMP9, as a potential ALS treatment.

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

RNA is the molecule that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. It's critical for the proper functioning of cells, and in a new study scientists have discovered a way of tagging RNA with a ...

Ancient DNA has been pulled from a permafrost-preserved woolly mammoth found in Siberia, and scientists are thrilled. They ...

Scientists are consistently one-upping each other when it comes to finding the oldest molecules from fossils. The race even includes the notoriously fragile RNA. “It’s groundbreaking,” said Oliver ...
