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 ...

New research identifies a critical RNA recycling system that prevents cellular "clogging," offering a new path for anti-aging therapies.

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

Platform combines proprietary AI sequence optimization, novel genetic parts, and lab validation in application-relevant cell models to improve expression and half-life, delivering top candidates in ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

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 ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

Bone is a common site for metastasis of solid cancers, but histological and molecular features of bone metastases are not well understood. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at ...

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, ...
