Aging selectively impairs the production of crucial DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, which contributes to hallmarks of aging in the brains of killifish, according to a new study. The findings advance ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a well-recognized byproduct of in vitro transcription that poses significant challenges for the use of synthetic mRNA in research and therapeutic applications. Even ...

mRNA sequences affect translation efficiency (IMAGE) University of Texas at Austin Caption Subtle differences in an mRNA sequence enables a ribosome to produce more or less of a certain protein. A new ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a first-of-its-kind mRNA system that switches on therapeutic genes preferentially inside targeted cells—an advance ...

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time.

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 ...
