The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not without risk. When this type of "genetic surgery" is performed on DNA, for ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of ...

While you’re probably pretty familiar with DNA, it’s likely that RNA only made it onto your radar during the pandemic, thanks to Covid-19 vaccines such as the ones from Moderna and Pfizer. DNA is “the ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

To our immune system, naked RNA is a sign of a viral or bacterial invasion and must be attacked. But our own cells also have RNA. To ward off trouble, our cells clothe their RNA in sugars, Vijay ...

Elevated lipoprotein(a) concentrations are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The safety and efficacy of lepodisiran, an extended-duration, small interfering RNA targeting hepatic ...

Daiichi Sankyo is stepping up its interest in RNA therapies, teaming with Nosis Biosciences to design drug candidates capable of reaching targets beyond the liver. The Japanese drugmaker is best known ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

Eli Lilly is further expanding its RNA medicine strategy by tapping South Korea’s Rznomics for a $1.3 billion biobucks deal focused on treating hearing loss. The centerpiece of the agreement is ...
