Researchers may have found a way to create synthetic RNA that is more “pure” and cost-effective than previous approaches, expanding opportunities for medicine and therapeutics. According to research ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

A research team based at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has identified 80 new genes essential to the process of RNA interference (RNAi), a powerful new research tool for inactivating genes in ...

In a new study, scientists at The Wistar Institute report the first direct evidence that RNA editing is essential to mammalian embryo development. RNA editing is a normal but not yet fully understood ...

In drug discovery, very little of what’s learned from one project can typically be carried over to the next. “For every new target you go after with a small molecule, you basically start from scratch, ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic code, as it is fundamentally involved in gene regulation, processing, and ...

The era of genetic medicine has arrived. As scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of humanity’s genetic blueprint, their discoveries are driving the emergence of new types of therapies such as ...

RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics have garnered significant attention in clinical research due to their potential for treating various diseases, including genetic disorders, viral infections and ...

The recognition of mRNA molecules as a transformative class of therapeutic drugs has soared, particularly with the development of COVID 19 mRNA vaccines. The cancer treatment landscape is similarly ...

In a press release from the University of California — Riverside, one of the researchers behind the new RNA vaccine, Rong Hai, explained why he and his colleagues are so excited about their ...
