A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

Sean Ryder, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, has written a book to delve the mysteries of ribonucleic acid as a tool to fight diseases. Messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, is in the public ...

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human genome, together with protein-coding sequences,” said Donate Weghorn, a ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a conserved small RNA molecule that enables bacteriophages ...

AI takes centre stage at an EMBO workshop exploring emerging trends, collaborative opportunities, and recent advances in computational structural ...

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. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Scientists identify the first non-coding gene that directly controls cell size, reshaping how biology explains growth and ...

Background Fermented foods are a promising yet underexplored intervention for influencing brain function and mental health through the gut–brain axis. Objective The objective of this study was to ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...
