Sarra Limam, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of South Florida, investigates how injury-induced non-coding RNAs ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

Plain-language definition: RNA therapy is medicine that works by adding, blocking, or changing RNA instructions inside cells. More formally, it is a class of treatment that uses RNA molecules, or ...
