Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases.

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...
