A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

In a groundbreaking exploration of cell surface biology, Ryan Flynn has uncovered a surprising role for RNA outside the confines of the cell. Flynn's research, which focuses on the biology of cell ...

A new role has been uncovered for a cell's own RNA in fending off attacks by RNA viruses. Some of the cell's RNA molecules, researchers found, help regulate antiviral signaling. These signals are part ...

The interaction between RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) has emerged as a key area of interest in understanding cancer biology. As critical regulators of gene expression, RBPs ...

New research shows how sperm RNA changes as men age, revealing a biological shift that may affect reproduction and child ...
