Scientists discovered ribose — in addition to “all five nucleobases used to construct both DNA and RNA” — on asteroid Bennu, ...

Investigators at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have designed RNA molecules that home to human pancreatic beta cells, the cells that produce insulin and are destroyed in patients ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

By adding a microRNA molecule to ALS models, Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and Weizmann Institute researchers say the damaged nerve cells 'even regenerated' ...

Scientists have collected ancient RNA from mammoth samples up to 52,000 years old. Learn how they can use that RNA to indicate what happened to the mammoth as it took its last breaths.

Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These ...

Smaller noncoding RNA is being used in clinical practice and as knowledge grows of long noncoding RNA, use of it should follow, explained Laura Denby, PhD, Kidney Research UK Senior Fellow, senior ...

Although fractures normally heal, bone will not regenerate under several circumstances. When bone does not regenerate, major clinical problems could result, including amputation. To enhance the ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
