Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

Intracellular machines called ribosomes use messenger-RNA sequences to synthesize proteins. Investigations using single-molecule imaging and cryo-electron microscopy techniques reveal structural and ...

A commonly used strategy in the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) medicine is based on the destruction of disease-causing mRNA. Achieving the opposite and stabilizing health-promoting mRNA is still ...

Fred Hutch researchers invent a CRISPR screening method to understand RNA-binding proteins often mutated in cancer and other diseases In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

A new study has produced a proof of principle for a new 'universal' means of treating COVID-19. Researchers demonstrated in a mouse model that it's possible to prompt the production of a protein that ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have developed a simpler process for messenger RNA (mRNA) purification based on continuous precipitation. According to Maria ...

mRNA transports the most valuable cellular information - the chemical blueprint for the production of proteins - from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. However, as soon as mRNA has delivered its message ...

PORTLAND, Ore. – A study led by an Oregon State University pharmaceutical sciences researcher has produced a proof of principle for a new “universal” means of treating COVID-19. Gaurav Sahay and ...
