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.

Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
