New research shows that lipid nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccines may deliver RNA more effectively when their structure is disorganised.

Researchers showed that LGP2 binds viral RNA ends and recruits MDA5 molecules to form filament clusters that activate ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Researchers at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB) have found a new way to organize molecules ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...
