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 ...
Can the weakened immune systems of older individuals be rejuvenated? Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM institute, and the Broad Institute have demonstrated that ...
South Korean researchers have, for the first time in the world, uncovered how messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines enter human cells, function inside the body, and are blocked by certain ...
A KAIST research team led by Professor Won Do Heo (Department of Biological Sciences) has developed an optogenetic platform, RELISR (REversible LIght-induced Store and Release), that enables precise ...
What is an RNA vaccine? RNA vaccines, or messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, are a relatively new type of vaccine that delivers mRNA molecules to human cells, instructing them to produce specific antigens.
The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a critical role in preventing cancer by regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and genomic stability. However, mutations in the P53 gene are found in over 50% of ...
It took a global pandemic, but the critical role of messenger RNA in all of life's functions has taken center stage in the past year with the successful rollout of mRNA vaccines to combat the SARS-Cov ...
Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...
Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.
