Esophageal cancer, which is cancer of the swallowing tube, has only a 22.2% five-year relative survival rate, but early ...

To overcome these limitations, the research team developed a "targeted RNA acetylation system (dCas13-eNAT10)" by combining Cas13, gene scissors that precisely target desired RNA, with a hyperactive ...

Inside Philadelphia’s new RNA manufacturing hub, scientists are working to create vaccines for fish, precision pesticides and treatments to protect plants from extreme heat. The recently launched ...

A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has achieved a significant advance in biotechnology that could ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

-- Novel approach to gene knockdown uses proprietary CASi (Conditionally Activated siRNA) molecules optimized to “switch” on, activating siRNA therapeutics only in selected cells -- -- CASi platform, ...

When a neuron in our body gets damaged, segments of RNA produce proteins that can help repair the injury. But in neurological disorders such as ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, or following spinal ...

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, but the molecular interactions ...

Researchers identified RNA biomarkers in blood nanoparticles that reflect brain changes in Alzheimer’s disease. The approach ...

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method, called 'sm-PORE-cupine', to study individual RNA molecules and reveal how their structures influence ...

Gene-silencing mechanisms using RNA interference (RNAi) and antisense oligomers have drawn attention to nucleic acid medicines. However, several challenges remain such as low in vivo stability and ...
