RNA abundance is regulated by balancing transcription and degradation in processes that control the temporal and spatial distribution of cellular RNA. In eukaryotic cells, mRNA decay is catalyzed by ...

which makes RNA more unstable and more prone to degradation. RNA is synthesized from DNA by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase during a process called transcription. The new RNA sequences are ...

Unlike animals, plants do not possess an adaptive immune system with antibodies or T cells to fight viral infections. Instead ...

These RNA molecules can interact with mRNA, influencing its stability, translation, or degradation, thus fine-tuning protein production in the cell. RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism ...

Ironically, eRNA’s rapid degradation could allow it to provide a more accurate snapshot of what organisms are currently in a system, scientists posit. Moreover, the RNA an organism sheds can change ...

Scientists are devising new ways to overcome this obstacle for RNA sequencing. RNA is more subject to degradation than DNA, whether chemical, physical, or enzymatic. Complicating the matter, ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science ...

Ovarian cancer, a leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies, has a poor prognosis and low 5-year survival rate, ...

Discover how RNA therapeutics are reshaping medicine, offering new treatments for previously undruggable targets.

The RNA inhibitor olpasiran significantly reduces a type of "bad cholesterol" that's associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events, according to results from an analysis by a Mount Sinai ...
