Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...

Scientists found a virus-like living entity in human bodies named "obelisks" - small loops of RNA, each a thousand genetic ...

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 ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

Novartis is buying Avidity Biosciences for $12 billion, picking up RNA-based medicines for neuromuscular diseases as it seeks ...

Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...

One of the most frightening things about Alzheimer's disease is how difficult it is to diagnose early. Now, University of ...
