Research shows that small extracellular vesicles shed by donor heart cells and circulating T cells provide a precise readout ...

Discover how unique circular RNA molecules are transforming liver cancer research to combat this growing health concern.

Stable microRNAs (miRNAs) can undergo turnover via target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD). Here, the authors show that TDMD triggers in non-coding regions degrade miRNAs more effectively than ...

The kit purifies all sizes of RNA, from large mRNA and ribosomal RNA down to microRNA (miRNA). The RNA is preferentially purified from other cellular components such as proteins, without the use ...

While it is accepted that extracellular vesicles (EVs)-mediated transfer of microRNAs contributes to intercellular communication, the knowledge about molecular mechanisms controlling the selective and ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...

An mRNA-based diagnostic test is being developed that could catch cancers earlier, when they're more treatable. But this innovation is under threat.

BioNTech, a biotech company best known for its successful development of a messenger RNA Covid-19 vaccine, is acquiring fellow mRNA company CureVac in a $1.25 billion stock deal that brings ...

Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, is of particular concern among mRNA vaccine opponents. An analysis published in 2022 found that myocarditis occurred in about 31.2 cases per 1 ...

Nanoplastics can compromise intestinal integrity in mice by altering the interactions between the gut microbiome and the host, according to a paper in Nature Communications. The study explores the ...
