Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function ...

“Most RNA molecules are synthesized independently and here we uncovered a dual function mRNA that can be used to produce a protein or to make a noncoding telomerase RNA, which is really unique.

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

RNA molecules that have nothing to do with proteins can also help regulate genes and perform other cellular functions. Researchers have now shown that some RNA in cells also helps defend against viral ...

Researchers have developed a powerful tool capable of scanning thousands of biological samples to detect transfer ribonucleic ...

Researchers at the Regensburg Center for Biochemistry (RCB) and the Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy (RUN) at the ...

This breakthrough enables precise, programmable control of RNA function and is expected to open new avenues in RNA-based therapeutic development.

A research team from the University of Cologne and collaborators has now shown that RNA interference, or RNAi for short, which is known to be a viral defense mechanism, also prevents the ...

In two of these cases, they investigated how swapping out a single letter of the RNA molecule's code alters the function of proteins the neurons produce.

Avidity Biosciences’ RNA therapy for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy has preliminary clinical data showing it knocked down expression of a gene that causes this rare disease. More details ...
