RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

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 ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

Two proteins come together to protect and stabilize RNA as it carries muscle-forming code through the cell. Further understanding this RNA-stabilizing complex may have implications for influencing ...

Lung cancer and melanoma patients immunized with this formula doubled their chances of surviving three years, according to a ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...

Shares of Arcturus Therapeutics crashed more than 50% early Wednesday on mixed test results for its experimental cystic ...
