This study uncovers a novel role of RNA G-quadruplex (rG4) structures in regulating translation and cellular senescence. By ...

Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

The expression of genes has to be very carefully controlled by cells; serious problems can arise when genes are expressed in the wrong places, at the wrong times, or at the wrong levels, for some ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that recognized ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with therapeutic resistance and adverse drug reactions posing significant challenges in ...

Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously ...
