A commonly used strategy in the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) medicine is based on the destruction of disease-causing mRNA. Achieving the opposite and stabilizing health-promoting mRNA is still ...

Scientists from CNRS have developed new stable and effective messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences that enable cells to produce therapeutic proteins themselves, capable of inducing antibody production ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The ...

Exsilio Therapeutics launched on Wednesday with an $82 million series A fundraising round co-led by Novartis Venture Fund and Delos Capital. The company’s interim CEO, Tal Zaks, says that while ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

Fred Hutch researchers invent a CRISPR screening method to understand RNA-binding proteins often mutated in cancer and other diseases In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) ...

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it lingers and causes harm, others say that idea just doesn’t hold up. A new ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...
