Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez has found ways to plant memories in mice. Here's what that could mean for humans.

UMass Amherst chemists have developed a three-color fluorescent method to visualize different mRNA molecules inside living ...

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

A new study shows that mRNAs in neurons cluster largely because abundant messages randomly overlap, not because they travel ...

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins. Scientists ...

I walk through how I log out of my Messenger account using my iPhone. I go step by step so you can see exactly where to go in the Messenger app, how to get into your Meta settings, and how to remove a ...

Pfizer’s mRNA flu vaccine outperformed the standard flu shot in a Phase 3 clinical trial, according to results published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The vaccine uses the same ...

Almost 40,000 years ago, a juvenile woolly mammoth died in modern-day Siberia. Today, its long-frozen remains have yielded the oldest sequences of RNA—messenger molecules that carry out genetic ...

Scientists have recovered ancient molecules of RNA from a juvenile mammoth named Yuka, who died 40,000 years ago in what is now Siberia. These biological remnants are providing insight into the last ...

It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist at Stockholm University, first laid eyes upon a special specimen on a lab table in eastern Siberia. "Our Russian collaborators said, 'Come here into this ...

Some 39,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in present-day Siberia, destined to be blanketed by ice and permafrost that would end up preserving its body — even down to the hair and muscle. Now, that ...
