DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel ...

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

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

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.

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

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

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 ...

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

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA.

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.

Many of the most devastating infectious diseases are caused by RNA viruses, and Model Medicines is working on one compound to ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen and NTU Singapore reveals that RNA damage, rather than DNA, plays a primary ...
