The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...

Yale researchers have developed a new and safe family of RNA-editing tools that utilize an RNA-targeting activity that they ...

Gene expression and regulation describes the process by which information encoded in an organism's DNA directs the synthesis of end products, RNA or protein. The articles in this Subject space ...

This study presents useful findings on the molecular mechanisms driving female-to-male sex reversal in the ricefield eel (Monopterus albus) during aging, which would be of interest to biologists ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) ...

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

Belgian scientists have uncovered new details about how the immune system responds to vaccines. Dendritic cells, which are key immune messengers that help kick-start the body's defenses, show specific ...

How chromatin responds to transcription-blocking DNA lesions is unclear. This study reveals that RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) ...

RFK Jr. says vaccines that utilize messenger RNA do more harm than good. Learn what the research says about their benefits and drawbacks.

BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a high-prevalence disease that threatens human survival and quality of life worldwide. Considerable evidence has suggested that periodontitis (PD) is ...

Here, we define a requirement for neural activity in mobilizing the antioxidant defenses of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans both during chronic oxidative stress and prior to its onset. We show ...
