Nanoparticles that deliver self-amplifying RNA were found to reduce scarring and improve heart function in animals following ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

Researchers have discovered molecules that present the potential to drive the development of gastric cancer. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered molecules that present the ...

There are plenty of unanswered questions about the origin of life on Earth. But the research community has largely reached consensus that one of the key steps was the emergence of an RNA molecule that ...

"Dune"-inspired Arrakis Therapeutics has tested its spice—an RNA-targeting small molecule—in a mouse model of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), with the drug reversing the prolonged muscle contraction ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered molecules that present the potential to drive the development of gastric cancer—among the world’s deadliest forms of the disease. Gastric ...
