Scientists are exploring how RNA might have jump-started life four billion years ago and how it's now advancing drug ...

Liquid brine veins, where RNA molecules can replicate, surround solid ice crystals in water ice, as seen with an electron microscope. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created an RNA molecule that can not just replicate, but “evolve” into a diverse range of more complex molecules. This find could plug a major gap in the ...

Viruses cannot replicate on their own, but rather depend on their host cell’s protein synthesis pathways to reproduce. This typically occurs by the virus inserting its genetic material in host cells, ...

Cells use the genetic information contained in DNA to generate proteins, which carry out many of the processes of life. RNA is the intermediate molecule; it is transcribed from DNA, then edited, ...

Cells move their genetic material from one place to another in the form of RNA. Christoph Burgstedt/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Before 2020, when my friends and acquaintances asked me what ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Replicate Bioscience emerged from stealth mode on Wednesday with an ambitious vision for how RNA treatments can combat cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders. It’s a goal that seems ...

Novo Nordisk is again looking for help outside its own laboratories as it works to build on the success of Ozempic and its sister medicine Wegovy. In the latest deal, Novo will provide research ...
