A new review article highlights the transformative role of circular RNA (circRNA) in cancer, revealing its potential as both a key player in tumor biology and a promising avenue for future therapies.

The pandemic has made mRNA part of our vocabulary. The rapidly developed and highly effective mRNA vaccines made by Moderna, Pfizer, and BioNTech have proven that mRNA can be used to prevent disease.

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...

The recognition of mRNA molecules as a transformative class of therapeutic drugs has soared, particularly with the development of COVID 19 mRNA vaccines. The cancer treatment landscape is similarly ...

Multiple companies aim to surmount the limitations of CAR-T therapy by going beyond T cells and engineering cell therapies based on natural killer (NK) cells or macrophages instead. Orna Therapeutics’ ...

SEONGNAM, South Korea, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Rznomics developed a novel platform technology termed 'self-circularized RNA structure' that can efficiently and simply generate circular RNA and ...

Researchers discover how ribosomes contribute to the recognition and removal of RNA crosslinking damage. Aldehydes are toxic compounds that are produced in the body by metabolic processes, especially ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Researchers have gained new insights into largely overlooked circular RNAs in brain cells and the crucial role they play in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. In addition to providing valuable ...

University of Delaware's Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA—the ribonucleic acid that ...

Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...
