Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory functions across different cellular processes. This makes them an interesting ...

Chloride ions, best known for helping cells maintain fluid balance and electrical stability, may also play a more direct role ...

Researchers led by Davide Incarnato at the University of Groningen have demonstrated that the FDA-approved cancer drug ...

TRIBE method for identifying RNAs that interact with ribosome-binding proteins (RBPs) fuses an RBP of interest to the catalytic domain (CD) of an RNA-editing enzyme. When the RBP-CD fusion protein ...

RNA allows the transport and interpretation of genetic code within DNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s cytoplasm or fluid interior. RNA ...

Aggregates of α-synuclein are the hallmark of synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, but could other protein inclusions contribute to pathology? Yes, say ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease, the outcome is severe, almost always resulting in fatal encephalitis or inflammation in the ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have shown that an important class of DNA-binding factors can also bind to RNA, regulating gene expression through various mechanisms. The study significantly ...

Our immune systems are remarkably adept at sounding the alarm when something goes wrong—sometimes even to the point of overreacting. But what happens when a notorious oncoprotein like MYC learns to ...
