Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — ...
The two most successful coronavirus vaccines developed in the U.S. – the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines – are both mRNA vaccines. The idea of using genetic material to produce an immune response has ...
How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...
Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...
The first human trials of DNA vaccines designed to produce live viruses in people’s bodies could start next year. A US company called Medigen has told New Scientist it is seeking approval for such ...
A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...
The type of vaccines used against COVID-19 do not interact with or alter human genetic code, also known as DNA, scientists say. The unfounded claim spread on social media platforms in recent months as ...
A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over ...
BERLIN — To date, mRNA vaccines have had their largest global presence in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Intensive research is underway on many other potential applications for this vaccine ...
