Ferroptosis represents a distinct form of regulated cell death, characterised by the iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes. Unlike apoptosis or necroptosis, ...

Long non-coding RNAs exist in the so-called "Wild West" (99%) of the human genome that is currently understudied. Not only does this finding have treatment implications for patients with ...

A rapidly advancing area of biomedical innovation is shining a spotlight on miR-128-3p, a small yet powerful molecule with the potential to reshape how diseases—especially cancer—are detected, ...

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 ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviors that define autism spectrum disorder (ASD), without affecting ...

Breakthrough discovery of fungal long non-coding RNA attack mechanism could enable greener, broad-spectrum disease-resistant ...

Researchers have identified RNA signatures in blood that may distinguish inflammatory breast cancer from other breast cancer ...
