RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression. They modulate key aspects of mRNA metabolism—such as splicing, ...
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it's crucial for life.

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only 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, ...
Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...
As a PhD student at the University of Münster in the early 2000s, Sven Diederichs would bike three kilometers each morning to a compact lab in a brick building on the hospital campus. There, he’d ...
