An international research team, led by Jian-Feng Mao, has developed PlantLncBoost, a new computational tool that helps to ...

Oligonucleotides work as short strands of synthetic DNA or RNA that can reduce, restore or modulate RNA through several different mechanisms.

This is possible only with an understanding, even an incomplete one, of ketamine’s mechanism of action, she says: “ ‘Why’ is not trivial.” John Krystal of Yale University, whose work ...

Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that increase cell stress and may contribute to diseases such as cancer and ...

3 Identifying disease-specific RNA signatures within exosomes allows researchers to gain useful insights into disease mechanisms, leading to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

This result has wide-ranging potential applications, such as in understanding RNA mechanisms and in drug development for diseases involving RNA. NuFold's code and Google Colab notebook are ...

Potentially safer and more flexible than DNA editing, RNA editing has made important strides during the last decade. In 2024, the field inched further forward, with Wave Life Sciences announcing the ...

Allison DeAngelis is the East Coast biotech and venture capital reporter at STAT, reporting where scientific ideas and money meet. She is also co-host of the weekly biotech podcast, The Readout ...

This result has wide-ranging potential applications, such as in understanding RNA mechanisms and in drug development for diseases involving RNA. NuFold’s code and Google Colab notebook are publicly ...

New research has identified a critical fall-back mechanism used by the cells when the usual RNA editing process is switched off. Professor Carl Walkley heads the RNA Biology and Innate Immune ...
