Studying a trio of non-coding RNA molecules produced abundantly in bacterial cells, a SLAC/Stanford-led research team discovered extravagant, multistrand complexes made entirely of RNA—structures they ...
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...
RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), reports a new study from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Using ...
Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...
The field of neurodegenerative disease research has increasingly focused on the roles of RNA-binding proteins in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral ...
For decades, circular RNA was treated as little more than molecular background noise — stable fragments that accumulated in ...
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, are cut ...
A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...
