From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...
Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...
From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But ...
The question of how life could have emerged is one of the most long-standing mysteries in science. In a new study, the laboratory of LMU Professor Dieter Braun has uncovered an unexpected form of ...
IOCB Prague researchers showed that dinucleoside polyphosphates, known as alarmones, can initiate RNA transcription and form ...
For life to develop on a planet, certain chemical elements are needed in sufficient quantities. Phosphorus and nitrogen are ...
DNA, which is the molecule responsible for carrying genetic information for our cells, has a lesser-known, simpler cousin called RNA (ribonucleic acid), which is crucial for protein synthesis. However ...
The discovery of catalytic RNA transformed our understanding of life's beginnings. Clare Sansom explores how the RNA world ...
