How do cells ensure that the "blueprints" of genetic information-RNA are accurate and intact before they are exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein production? A study led by Professor ...

An experimental RNA-based therapy shows promise for ALS by preventing TDP-43 protein clumping. The therapy halted motor neuron loss in mouse models. Researchers hope to one day move the treatment to ...

A University of California, Irvine-led research team has discovered intricate molecular mechanisms driving the RNA processing defects that lead to Huntington's disease and link HD with other ...

Misshapen proteins cause a mess of trouble—particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. But a new study suggests it's possible ...

RNA technology is regarded as one of the newest frontiers in medicine, but in fact a primordial innovator got there way before we did. The malaria parasite, an ancient single-celled organism, has been ...
