This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein ...

Researchers from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) have described a new mechanism ...

RNA vaccines train the immune system in a similar way to traditional vaccines, but they use a different strategy to get there ...

In recent years, mRNA technology enabled the rapid development of vaccines to fight COVID-19, saving millions of lives.

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.

Within hours, the mRNA and protein would degrade without integrating into the genome. To optimize mRNA delivery, the team screened libraries of both polymer and lipid components for an effective ...

So that an exact blueprint for each protein can reach the production site in the cell, the information from the genome must be copied into messenger RNA, or mRNA for short. First, a precursor mRNA ...

The identification and intervention of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in its early-stage allows for the timely implementation of lifestyle modifications and therapeutic strategies. Although dysregulation of ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. KIM V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...
