Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding ...

Researchers show how LGP2 binds viral RNA ends, moves along the strand, and helps MDA5 form filaments that amplify antiviral signaling. The findings clarify an early defense step and may inform ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...

(Nanowerk News) With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (Facio-face; scapulo-scapula or shoulder blade; humeral-arm muscles around the humerus) or FSHD is an inherited muscle disorder characterized by the progressive ...

The findings support that all cell populations within the implant are in a post mitotic state, meaning there was no evidence ...

For people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life-saving antiretroviral therapy keeps their HIV-infected immune cells from making new copies of the virus, preventing illness and ...
