Under normal circumstances, tau protein is part of the brain’s infrastructure, important for stabilizing neurons into their proper shapes. But sometimes tau gets knotted up into tangles and turns ...

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 ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...

Profiling noncoding repetitive RNA sequences improves the sensitivity of liquid biopsy diagnostic tests for early stage cancers. As cancer is most treatable in its early stages, developing diagnostic ...

A new study shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates mitochondrial gene expression in human cells. A new study published in the journal Cell shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...
