An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...
How can cells be programmed to respond to complex signals and make targeted decisions, similar to a logical circuit in a computer? Researchers have developed a new approach: an RNA-based genetic ...
RNA hit prime time during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the average American waiting in line for their shot knew that the vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were made using mRNA. But while RNA ...
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 ...
Scientists have identified an RNA-based sperm aging clock driven by rsRNA length changes, which may help assess paternal reproductive risk and offspring health.
Researchers engineered the first RNA-based NAND gate in living cells using deep learning and Bayesian optimization, testing ...
RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...
A study of a bacteria commonly used in dairy fermentation revealed how organized RNA helixes, called riboswitches, can combine different signals to keep gene expression in check. Researchers from the ...
An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...
