How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

mRNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a “therapeutic agent,” but a technology that delivers the blueprint for functional proteins into the body so that induces therapeutic ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently specific mRNA sequences will produce proteins, both generally and in various ...

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

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New AI model predicts mRNA protein output, aiding drug and vaccine design by targeting specific cells. (CREDIT: Science Photo ...

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) possess unique properties making them great therapeutic candidates. However, delivering mRNA drugs to target cells is challenging. Protein nanocages (PNCs) are nanostructures ...

Problem: siRNA might depress mRNA levels but not induce the expected phenotype. Controls: Looking for a decrease in levels of your targeted mRNA isn't enough, Rozenfeld says; you should also look for ...
