RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), reports a new study from the Institute of Science, Tokyo, Japan. Using ...

A new study suggests that RNA can become dangerous when cells accumulate more of it than they can clear. Credit: Stock. A virus may cripple a cell’s power supply simply by produ ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's protein factories, but these molecules aren't just a middleman for protein ...

Much like a courier reading an address on a package, neurons must deliver RNA to the precise locations where it is needed. A ...

Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

Scientists have uncovered the workings of a previously unknown RNA delivery system in neurons — one that selects specific RNA ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered an unexpected role for a well-known cancer-related protein, revealing a new layer of genetic regulation that could reshape how certain cancers are ...

Mission Bio, a leader in single-cell multi-omics, today announced Tapestri® Triomics, a new expansion of the Tapestri Platform that simultaneously analyzes DNA, RNA, and protein in the same cell. By ...
