Molecular dynamics simulations use atomistic force field to capture RNA folding with high accuracy
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic ...
Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.
Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.
What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes ...
By stimulating cancer cells to produce a molecule that activates a signaling pathway in nearby immune cells, MIT researchers ...
