With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the ...

A research team from National Taiwan University, Academia Sinica, and National Taiwan University Hospital has uncovered a critical connection between a unique RNA molecule and human aging ...

In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules ...

After a few weeks, he collected RNA from their brains. "We found that there were over 20,000 different locations on various different proteins that were edited," says Birk, with more tweaking in ...

RNA-LNP induce CHMP2A recruitment to non-releasing vesicles. Credit: Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-60959-z ...

RNA plays a key role in protein synthesis. My team and I were curious about whether RNA might actively participate in fixing double-strand breaks as a first line of defense. To explore this, we ...

Further analysis revealed that these protective RNA fragments often share an 11-nucleotide sequence motif, which enhances their ability to silence genes involved in both cell death and cholinergic ...

The venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering has publicly launched the start-up Terrana Biosciences, which is using RNA to program plants to resist pests and disease. With a $50 million initial ...
