2019年にスタートした本連載「Innovative Tech」は、世界中の幅広い分野から最先端の研究論文を独自視点で厳選、解説する。執筆は研究論文メディア「Seamless」(シームレス)を主宰し、日課として数多くの論文に目を通す山下氏が担当。イラストや漫画は、同メディア所属のアーティスト・おね氏が手掛けている。X:@shiropen2 英ケンブリッジ大学などに所属する研究者らがScience誌 ...
RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...
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 ...
When the concept of RNA interference was first introduced in the early 2000s, it raised the tantalizing possibility of using RNA molecules to modify human gene expression. 1 Since then, a wide range ...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are associated with the risk of progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The HCV RNA genome is translated by an internal ribosome entry site ...
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 ...
