Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

A commonly used strategy in the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) medicine is based on the destruction of disease-causing mRNA. Achieving the opposite and stabilizing health-promoting mRNA is still ...

Exsilio Therapeutics launched on Wednesday with an $82 million series A fundraising round co-led by Novartis Venture Fund and Delos Capital. The company’s interim CEO, Tal Zaks, says that while ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

MIT scientists have discovered that part of these microorganisms' energy efficiency depends on invisible signals embedded ...

In his new book, “The Catalyst,” Dr. Thomas Cech describes how mRNA in the COVID vaccines encodes the virus’s spike protein. The following is an excerpt from The Catalyst: RNA and the Quest to Unlock ...

"Gene-editing scissors directly intervene in the DNA, which is the cell's original blueprint. This means a single misstep could result in permanent si ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are one of the biggest medical breakthroughs of recent years. It was first introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic and they helpe ...

A new study, led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), identified tiny pieces of messenger RNA that are missing in pediatric high-grade glioma tumors but not in normal brain ...

mRNA transports the most valuable cellular information - the chemical blueprint for the production of proteins - from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. However, as soon as mRNA has delivered its message ...
