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

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 ...

The COVID-19 pandemic thrust messenger RNA (mRNA) into the spotlight, underscoring its promise as a nimble, programmable platform for delivering genetic instructions directly to cells. The success of ...

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 ...

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

The LineaDNA platform is a proprietary, cell-free DNA production system that uses a large-scale polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process. This technology allows for the rapid and efficient production ...

Marissa Russo is a former STAT intern supported by the AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship. An oral capsule can efficiently deliver liquid mRNA therapy directly to the gut, a possible new ...

Radiation therapy is highly effective at killing cancer cells, but it often harms healthy skin around the treatment area, a common side effect experienced by up to 95% of cancer patients undergoing ...

Oklahoma has always valued independence, common sense and practical solutions. mRNA therapeutics help doctors do no harm and ...
