The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...
The United States Food and Drug Administration has just approved the first-ever clinical trial that uses CRISPR-Cas13 RNA ...
In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
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 ...
How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...
Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...
RNA biology is a dynamic field crucial to deciphering gene expression and cellular function while revealing the intricacies of disease mechanisms. Recently, ...
People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it lingers and causes harm, others say that idea just doesn’t hold up. A new ...
