Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and ...

A new review article highlights the transformative role of circular RNA (circRNA) in cancer, revealing its potential as both a key player in tumor biology and a promising avenue for future therapies.

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the right times. RNA is one such molecule; the sequences for different proteins ...

To understand more fully the role of RNA and its modifications in living systems, researchers will need robust, reproducible, and accessible tools and techniques capable of identifying all RNA ...

A new review highlights the emerging importance of YTHDF2, a key regulator of RNA activity, in shaping the body's inflammatory responses and influencing a wide range of diseases.

DNA is the backbone of the genetic code so, logically, decoding and understanding the genetic sequence along with epigenetic modifications came first. Yet, RNA and the emerging field of ...

For decades scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years of probing work and extensive experimentation, a Yale research team has ...

Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell ...
