Scientists have discovered that increased expression of a novel long non-coding RNA drives glioblastoma cell growth alongside ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...

A sum of 921 samples were collected from three independent data sets. We obtained pyroptosis-related genes from both the Molecular Signatures Database and relevant literature sources and used four ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

A study in mouse models and human tissue, carried out by researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has found that the small nuceleolar RNA ...

Contrary to historic understanding of RNA’s longevity in cells, some RNAs can persist in cells throughout the life of an organism. Lead authors, Martin Hetzer, PhD, president of the Institute of ...

There are plenty of unanswered questions about the origin of life on Earth. But the research community has largely reached consensus that one of the key steps was the emergence of an RNA molecule that ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
