The intestinal microbiome is a highly complex ecosystem with thousands of different types of bacteria. Live and let live, ...

We think that this type of discovery may pave the way for an entirely new way of targeting cancer cells. But to understand how this is possible, it's first important to know the different types of RNA ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

But there are two different types of viruses: DNA and RNA. Though we know of RNA viruses like COVID-19, West Nile Virus and the flu, ...

No longer a mere assistant who carries out the commands of DNA, RNA takes the lead in emerging therapeutics.

Two Boston University doctoral students, Joshua McGee (ENG’26) and Jack Kirsch (ENG’23), were creating and testing different types of RNA—strands of ribonucleic acid, built from chains of ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts.

There are different types of RNA, one of which is known as messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA is a type of coding RNA and its job is to transmit the building instructions for proteins from the DNA in ...

Since the 1950s, a chemotherapy drug known as 5-fluorouracil has been used to treat many types of cancer, including blood cancers and cancers of the digestive tract.

There, she began experimenting with different types of RNA but with little success. She could not win scientific grants to fund her work and, in 1995, after years of toiling, ...

A new University of California, Irvine-led study uncovers how a protein called APOBEC3B could protect cells against many different types of RNA viruses like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS ...
