One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

RNA therapeutics target translation rather than DNA, aiming to correct shared protein production errors. By enabling cells to read through premature stop codons, engineered tRNAs could restore ...

Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

New findings reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development.

Structural nanomedicine — what helped give us the COVID vaccine — may now be the key to a potent blood cancer treatment that’s had remarkable early results.

“Our analyses show that the historical [human Rhinovirus] A genome represents an extinct lineage closely related to HRV A19 ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Cancer cannot be explained by mutations alone. Today, cancer is understood as a multifactorial disease, shaped by genetics, gene regulation, environment and time”: Nita Parekh, Professor ...

How innovative technologies like AI and gene editing are advancing rare disease drug discovery and development.

Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...

Watch Staff Scientist, Dr. Christian Kis, explain the functionality and uses of KingFisher Apex for sample preparation. KingFisher purification instruments automate the extraction and purifi ...

FDA's Plausible Mechanism Framework streamlines individualized therapy approvals for ultra-rare diseases.
