How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease.

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

An mRNA cancer vaccine carries its own immune booster and lights up when it starts working, showing treatment success in mice within hours.

Nobel laureate Har Gobind Khorana's groundbreaking work on the genetic code, deciphering how DNA sequences translate to proteins, laid the foundation for modern molecular biology. His research, ...

Cancer patients who got an mRNA COVID vaccine within a few months of their immunotherapy lived longer than those who did not, health records show.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics hold significant promise for the future of personalized cancer treatment, but persistent off-target effects and treatment-resistant tumor microenvironments have ...

Vaccines that resemble viruses generally produce a stronger immune response, while mRNA versions are much quicker and cheaper to make. Now we are getting the best of both worlds, in the form of mRNA ...

The Fast-Twitch Gene You Didn't Know You Had Your DNA might be giving you an edge or could be holding you back. The ACTN3 ...
