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 ...

No longer a mere assistant who carries out the commands of DNA, RNA takes the lead in emerging therapeutics.

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

Scientists have created an artificial RNA system that can copy itself using simple building blocks and temperature changes.

To better conduct the analysis of nucleoside analogues, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography–tandem mass ...

While it is accepted that extracellular vesicles (EVs)-mediated transfer of microRNAs contributes to intercellular communication, the knowledge about molecular mechanisms controlling the selective and ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...
