This isn't the first time RNA has been honored recently. The molecule has been something of a scientific darling of late: ...

A new study in Nature has mapped, at atomic resolution, how the enzyme DICER slices precursor microRNAs at exactly the right ...

Researchers have discovered that a tiny molecule, known as microRNA-93 (miR-93), is the primary driver of fatty liver disease ...

Data Show Statistically Significant Improvements in Pain, Function and Tendon Structure in Appropriately Dosed PatientsTenoMiR to Progress to ...

Andrea Kasinski receives funding from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and the American Lung Association. Kasinski is also the inventor on multiple patients associated with ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute has taken a liking to RNA. The committee has awarded two American biologists the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of ...

A new study shows cells use dual RNA signals to control microRNA lifespan. This selective process protects gene regulation while enabling targeted RNA breakdown.

A new cancer therapy developed by Purdue University researchers attacks tumors by tricking cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division. As reported Monday (Sept. 4 ...

Victor Ambros receives funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The Conversation Weekly podcast caught up with Victor Ambros from his lab at the UMass Chan Medical School to learn more ...
