New research identifies a critical RNA recycling system that prevents cellular "clogging," offering a new path for anti-aging therapies.

Immunologists from the Babraham Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA-binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

Contrary to historic understanding of RNA’s longevity in cells, some RNAs can persist in cells throughout the life of an organism. Lead authors, Martin Hetzer, PhD, president of the Institute of ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

Researchers engineered the first RNA-based NAND gate in living cells using deep learning and Bayesian optimization, testing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nanoparticles that deliver self-amplifying RNA were found to reduce scarring and improve heart function in animals following ...
