One key component might be RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA found in every form of life on Earth, and now scientists say they have shown how it could have formed on our planet eons ago. But not everyone ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on a critical molecular mechanism underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) ...

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. Once considered mere transcriptional noise, lncRNAs are now known to play vital roles in ...

* UV light reduces the YTHDF2 protein, weakening the skin's natural defense * Misplaced U6 snRNA activates inflammation inside vulnerable skin cells * Heightened //TLR3 signaling may push cells closer ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Schematic representation summarising MASLD-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their relevant targets in hepatocytes: human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex group 18 (HCG18), nuclear enriched ...

Background Aberrant Wnt pathway activation is a key driver of colorectal cancer (CRC) and is essential to sustain tumour growth and progression. Although the downstream protein-coding target genes of ...
