A rapidly advancing area of biomedical innovation is shining a spotlight on miR-128-3p, a small yet powerful molecule with the potential to reshape how diseases—especially cancer—are detected, ...

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) constitute a diverse class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but exert critical regulatory roles in virtually all aspects of cellular physiology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) ...

Macrophages are considered the "scavenger cells" of the immune system, but some pathogens exploit these very cells as hiding ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

University of Virginia postdoctoral researcher Róża Przanowska investigates how long non-coding RNA structural domains drive ...

Sarra Limam, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of South Florida, investigates how injury-induced non-coding RNAs ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of ...

All cells in the human body – and the motions they enable, from our beating hearts to our wiggling toes – use energy generated by a ...

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 non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
