WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Like tiny superheroes, small, naturally occurring segments of RNA can block multiple molecular paths that cancer cells use to grow and spread, a substantial advantage over even ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

A team led by UNC School of Medicine researchers is the first to confirm that a small molecule called miR-29 plays a role in driving aging. Their new findings are published in Communications Biology.

A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside biomedical scientists has identified a small, previously overlooked small RNA molecule that plays a major role in controlling the ...

Viruses need hosts. Whether it's measles, the flu or coronavirus, viral pathogens cannot multiply or infect other organisms without the assistance of their hosts' cellular infrastructure. However, ...

Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method—CRISPR—sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

In this interview, industry expert Dr. Lohit Khera discusses the evolving role of microRNA in research, diagnostics, and precision medicine. He also highlights the latest RNA extraction and analysis ...

Not everything inside us is, strictly speaking, us. The closer we look at the genome, the more we appreciate the role of small RNAs in what we call epigenetic inheritance. That’s when traits get ...

The discovery of siRNA and its role in RNAi was a groundbreaking finding in the field of molecular biology. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a seminal paper describing the phenomenon of ...
