(Nanowerk News) With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality ...
The approval of messenger RNA (mRNA) based COVID-19 vaccines marked a pivotal scientific milestone, establishing mRNA as an innovative drug modality with immense therapeutic potential. However, due to ...
Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...
The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...
New Rochelle, NY, February 19, 2025—A new study in the peer-reviewed Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research (JICR) showed that a specific retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) agonist RNA (RAR) ...

Using RNA to interfere with a gene’s expression of disease-causing proteins is a validated therapeutic approach, but so far, the products in this drug class only address liver proteins. Reducing ...
An updated edition of the July 30, 2025, article. Genomics involves a thorough study of genomes (an organism’s complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA). It involves understanding how genes ...
