Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

A group of interdisciplinary Boston University researchers worked together to investigate the promising technology of self-amplifying RNA as a way to deliver lifesaving drugs and create more effective ...

Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins. Researchers at KAIST have discovered a new phenomenon: Removing "circular ...

Endogenous RNA is central to protein control and, ultimately, cellular function. Synthetic RNA is an important tool for biological research and is also offering a new generation of promising ...

Northwestern University in Illinois, US, has announced a new method for detecting RNA modification patterns in blood samples that could enhance early colon cancer detection. This was detailed in a ...

This work presents a redox-responsive strategy for precise RNA control via post-synthetic 2′-OH acylation. These introduced disulfide-containing acyl groups can be selectively cleaved upon exposure to ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

As climate change and human activity threaten freshwater ecosystems like lakes and rivers, it's more important than ever to know how the species who inhabit them are being impacted. But traditional ...
