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

A trio of mRNA molecules could help guard against the harmful effects of aging on immune cells, a study in mice finds.

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins.

Multiple forms of double-stranded RNA (blue, magenta, orange structures) cross cell membranes with the help of a conserved protein located in novel sites (colored by depth) throughout the roundworm's ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

Using a novel method, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers map 16 types of simultaneous changes in dozens of samples; ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins -- yet it exists in large quantities. A research team has ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
