A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells, a discovery that could eventually give rise to better cancer ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

生体分子の分離と解析は、生物工学や医用生体工学の発展にとって極めて重要な過程である。しかし、依然として分離分解能と生体分子解析のスピードを向上させる必要がある。短時間で生体分子の分離・解析を行うために、これまでにトップダウン法や ...

Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

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

With big pharma signalling interest in novel RNA-targeted approaches, the term “druggable” is being redefined as technology advances.

Scientists discover QT45, a self-replicating RNA molecule, offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.
