Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise.

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural process in which RNA molecules control the function of specific genes by inactivating them. This technology has been instrumental in regulating pathogenic genes.

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs ...

A study reveals how RNA modifications regulate the transformation of stem cells into retinal cells. The protein METTL3, which ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make.This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

The first sprayable insecticide made of RNA can target and kill ravenous Colorado potato beetles while sparing most ...

Jonathan Henninger, an assistant professor of biological sciences, is part of a growing movement in the life sciences exploring how ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, can be harnessed to develop ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...
