Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Microscopic scaffolding to house the tiny components of nanotech devices could be built from RNA, the same substance that shuttles messages around a cell’s nucleus, reports a ...
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, ...
A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been identified by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo. The study was ...
Researchers have identified cancer-specific RNAs and employed machine learning models to use them as a blood-based biomarker ...
An international team of scientists has designed a new type of therapy to target the mutant toxic RNA that causes myotonic ...
A Purdue University team has discovered a new therapeutic target for triple-negative breast cancer. The research, led by Kyle Cottrell, an assistant professor of biochemistry, spotlights ...
RNA clusters (green colored) gradually disassemble within biomolecular condensates (magenta colored), returning the RNA to a soluble state. This occured after an antisense oligonucleotide engineered ...
