A mysterious RNA molecule found only in breast cancer led researchers on a six-year hunt that uncovered an entire hidden layer of cancer biology. The story began with T3p, a tiny RNA molecule found in ...
Small, biologically inert molecules can be converted into bioactive degraders that selectively downregulate disease-causing RNAs. By attaching an RNA molecular recognition element to a second compound ...
A research group at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia) has identified a candidate molecule that could improve current therapies against pancreatic cancer. The ...
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...
In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, a group of researchers investigated single-molecule electrical detection of ribonucleic acid (RNA) cancer biomarkers, demonstrating high sensitivity ...
The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...
How was complex life able to develop on the inhospitable early Earth? At the beginning there must have been ribonucleic acid (RNA) to carry the first genetic information. To build up complexity in ...
