In the process, DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated into functional proteins that subsequently undergo folding to achieve their correct structure, which is key to proper function. "There ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

Nobel Laureate and University of Chicago professor Jack Szostak delivered two lectures on the origin of life to an audience of professors, graduate, and undergraduate students the Monday and Tuesday ...

Cancer metastasis, the spread of cancer to organs, is a major cause of cancer-related deaths. Once cancer spreads to multiple ...

A research team led by Rice University's Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns ...

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different versions of a film.

A study reveals how cancer disrupts RNA splicing and presents a potential therapy using antisense oligonucleotides to target ...

Scientists from The Jackson Laboratory and UConn Health found that cancer cells disrupt poison exons, leading to tumor growth ...

Scientists reveal how cancer cells manipulate RNA splicing, increasing tumor growth. A new study introduces antisense ...

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