Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

A KAIST research team led by Professor Won Do Heo (Department of Biological Sciences) has developed an optogenetic platform, RELISR (REversible LIght-induced Store and Release), that enables precise ...

In today’s rapidly evolving scientific landscape, eliminating barriers to progress is more critical than ever. Precision medicine and targeted therapies hold great promise but are dependent on the ...

Researchers in Yale’s Gilbert lab published research on mRNA nucleotide modifications and ribosome recruitment, winning a $1.7 million grant from Pfizer. A research lab at Yale led by Wendy Gilbert, ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

Recent work reported in Nature highlighted the importance of methylation on messenger RNA (mRNA). Methyl tags that are added to mRNA can have a dramatic impact on the fate of mRNA transcripts. Now an ...

Messenger RNA brought the world its first Covid-19 vaccines, demonstrating along the way how this technology works. Strand Therapeutics is developing what could become the next generation of mRNA ...

The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a critical role in preventing cancer by regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and genomic stability. However, mutations in the P53 gene are found in over 50% of ...

In the quest to design vaccines that better help the body's immune system fight disease, scientists are always looking for more tools for their arsenal. The strong antibody responses generated by ...

Vaccines using mRNA technology weren’t immune to the latest round of federal research cuts. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said this week that he’s pulling the plug on ...
