DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Scientists have finally uncovered the missing link in how our bodies absorb queuosine, a rare micronutrient crucial for brain health, memory, stress response, and cancer defense. For decades, ...

A new review highlights the transformative potential of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in the field of liquid biopsy, emphasizing their role as promising biomarkers for a wide range of ...

A new review highlights the transformative potential of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in the field of liquid ...

The study focused on transfer RNAs, or tRNAs, which ferry protein building blocks inside of cells, making them biologically essential. Dysregulated tRNAs are frequently involved in human diseases.

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation ...

Each transfer RNA molecule transports a specific amino acid to the ribosome -- a cell structure that strings amino acids together to form proteins, based on the instructions carried by messenger RNA.

Queuosine, supplied from food and our own gut bacteria, plays a vital role in human health. Researchers have just discovered ...

Conclusions The activity of the transfer RNA methylating enzyme Mettl1 controls heart cell maturation by driving ketogenesis and metabolic reprogramming.
