One of the most frightening things about Alzheimer's disease is how difficult it is to diagnose early. Now, University of ...

Jonathan Henninger, an assistant professor of biological sciences, is part of a growing movement in the life sciences exploring how ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, can be harnessed to develop ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...

Two human cells making RNA made visible by the bioluminescent lantern in pink (middle image). On the left, the same cells making a fluorescent protein that’s distributed evenly throughout the two ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges ...

For biotech companies with platform technologies, one common goal is finding a big pharmaceutical partner interested in jumping onto that platform sooner or later. For miRecule, the collaboration came ...
