Science has revealed some of the secrets of the X chromosome, but many remain. In humans, female cells contain two X ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee ...

Mice injected with a microRNA molecule lived longer and had fewer markers of ageing, but it’s not yet known if the treatment ...

The integration will enable Leica’s BOND staining systems to simultaneously detect RNA and protein targets on the same tissue ...

New research reveals that sunburn’s acute effects, like inflammation and cell death, are triggered by RNA damage rather than ...

In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and NTU Singapore have discovered that RNA damage, not DNA damage, is the real trigger for the acute effec ...

The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble discovered notable differences between the nuclear cap-binding complex in trypanosomes and humans, a critical component in cellular RNA metabolism. Trypanosomes ...

The surprising paradigm shift could lead to much more protective sunscreens and effective skin treatments.

Spending enough time in the sun without adequate protection can leave us looking and presumably feeling like a lobster ready ...

Following the lead of previous work on mRNA-based vaccines, therapies for spinal cord injuries and more, the method relies upon mineral-coated microparticles to deliver mRNA that encodes for ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.
