What is an RNA vaccine? RNA vaccines, or messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, are a relatively new type of vaccine that delivers mRNA molecules to human cells, instructing them to produce specific antigens.

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA ...

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 ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method, published in Molecular Cell, is a powerful ...

The United States Food and Drug Administration has just approved the first-ever clinical trial that uses CRISPR-Cas13 RNA editing. Its aim is to treat an eye disease called wet age-related macular ...

SINGAPORE – Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method, called ‘sm-PORE-cupine’, to study individual RNA molecules and reveal how their structures ...

Gene silencing refers to any mechanism that turns down or switches off the expression of a specific gene so that less of its protein, or none at all, is produced. Crucially, the gene's DNA is left ...
