Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein.

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

This week in the scientific process: researchers reported the first-ever shark sighted in Antarctic waters. Penguins beware!

Leveraging its integrated "design-synthesis-quality control" system, Creative Biolabs is overcoming bottlenecks in mRNA ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn as well as the ...

This study reports an important and novel finding that TENT5A, an enzyme involved in fine-tuning poly(A) tail length on selected mRNAs, is required for proper enamel mineralization in mice. The ...
