The expression of genes has to be very carefully controlled by cells; serious problems can arise when genes are expressed in the wrong places, at the wrong times, or at the wrong levels, for some ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

After being described in 2018, researchers knew they had something interesting with T3p, a single small RNA found in breast ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...

Using RNA to interfere with a gene’s expression of disease-causing proteins is a validated therapeutic approach, but so far, the products in this drug class only address liver proteins. Reducing ...

Scientists have uncovered why people with chronic kidney disease so often die from heart problems: damaged kidneys release ...

Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that recognized ...

Resalis Therapeutics, a biotechnology company pioneering microRNA-targeted therapies, today announced the appointment ...
