Researchers have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells respond rapidly to infections.

Researchers led by Davide Incarnato at the University of Groningen have demonstrated that the FDA-approved cancer drug mitoxantrone works against RNA not simply by attaching to it, but by forcing it ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

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 ...

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different versions of a film. By selecting which scenes to keep and which to leave out, ...

RNA is the means of translating the genetic code embedded in DNA into proteins, which serve as enzymes, transporters, signaling molecules, receptors, structural components, regulators, and ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

Soil salinity severely restricts grapevine growth by damaging roots, limiting shoot development, disturbing sodium/potassium (Na+/K+) balance, and weakening photosynthesis. Previous studies of ...
