Researchers discovered that the mRNA modification m6A triggers rapid degradation, regulating protein production. This ...

Researchers find obelisks, mysterious RNA molecules in human bacteria that challenge our understanding of viruses and ...

At one time or another, most of us have played with a flipbook, using our thumbs to rapidly flip a series of pictures to create an illusion of movement.

Researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa have discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed ...

Researchers have discovered a process that breaks down mRNA molecules in the human body particularly efficiently. This could be useful, for example, in the treatment of cancer.

Uncover the secrets of cancer with cellular CSI. Learn how ribosomes can leave unique 'fingerprints' that could revolutionize tumor detection.

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

Miniature, 3D versions of testicles also make it to the list of body parts that scientists have grown in the lab. Scientists have also modeled the placenta in the lab in order to study how the ...

The study centers around the ribosome, the protein factories of a cell. For decades, ribosomes were believed to have the same ...
