Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that recognized ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Irvine, Calif., May 8, 2023 — Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have developed a DNA enzyme – or DNAzyme – that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the ...

A 5-hydroxymethylcytosine-based noninvasive model for ultrasensitive early detection of colorectal advanced adenoma and adenocarcinoma: The METHOD-2 study. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...

Researchers are adding new evidence to the emerging concept that 'silent' or synonymous mutations may have crucial consequences. Their study showed how a synonymous mutation in one gene can ...

When RNA malfunctions, it can result in cancer and developmental disorders. Our cells have molecular “machines” that keep RNA “in check” and eliminate RNAs at the right time. Most come equipped with a ...

Since Henry Bence Jones first discovered a urine protein marker for multiple myeloma in 1846, the field of cancer biomarkers has grown exponentially. Over the past two centuries, scientists have ...

Researchers have developed a DNA enzyme -- or DNAzyme -- that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the disease-associated strand while leaving the healthy strand intact. This ...
