Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...
Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...
RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...
EM, researchers showed that water mediates catalysis and important protein interactions for RNA polymerase II function in ...

A new biochemical method identifies RNA 3D structures and protein binding sites in cells. It reveals how RNA folding drives ...
A study of a bacteria commonly used in dairy fermentation revealed how organized RNA helixes, called riboswitches, can combine different signals to keep gene expression in check. Researchers from the ...
RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...
An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...
