How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently specific mRNA sequences will produce proteins, both generally and in various ...

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) possess unique properties making them great therapeutic candidates. However, delivering mRNA drugs to target cells is challenging. Protein nanocages (PNCs) are nanostructures ...

Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — ...

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), immunomodulatory DNA/RNA, and gene-editing guide RNA (gRNA), hold ...

The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines might make some cancer treatments more effective. Lung cancer patients who received the vaccine within a few months of immunotherapy, which revs up the immune system, lived ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

Researchers identified LENG8 as a key RNA quality control protein that prevents defective RNA from leaving the nucleus. By ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...
