A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

Explore the breakthrough of lab-made lncRNA by University of Toronto Engineering for new drug discovery potential.

The expression of genes has to be very carefully controlled by cells; serious problems can arise when genes are expressed in the wrong places, at the wrong times, or at the wrong levels, for some ...

Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, together with colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, have identified how a long ...

Impact of variant allele frequency (VAF) of TP53 alterations and Signatera circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring for patients (pts) with advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) treated with enfortumab ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...
