A father’s exposure to microplastics can alter sperm RNA in ways that increase metabolic disease risk in his daughters.

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

Fathers exposed to microplastics before conception may be setting their daughters up for metabolic problems later in life.

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases.
