All living organisms encode the amino acid sequences of proteins as nucleotide sequences (genetic information) in their ...

Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung announces the winner of the 2025 Heinrich Wieland Prize: Adrian R. Krainer of Cold Spring ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

The mRNA therapeutics field is rapidly evolving beyond vaccines to include treatments for cancer, genetic disorders and in vivo cell therapies, bringing with it diverse production challenges. As the ...

The promise of mRNA technology seemed boundless after the success of the coronavirus vaccines, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has singled it out for scrutiny, clouding its prospects.

A new type of mRNA vaccine is more scalable and adaptable to continuously evolving viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and H5N1, according to a new study.

Why are mRNA vaccines being used now? In the mid-2000s, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania figured out how to get foreign mRNA into human cells without it degrading first.

For genes on the unvaried chromosomes (trans), there is greater modulation in most of the aneuploidy combinations. Finally, 22 of the 31 combinations were found to have an altered transcriptome size, ...

Transcription of DNA into mRNA and translation of mRNA into proteins are two major processes underlying gene expression. Due to the distinct molecular mechanisms, timings, and locales of action, these ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription and translation processes.

Discover how they make in vitro transcription possible and refine reaction products to generate highly pure, homogeneous mRNA. Learn more about: The critical stages of mRNA synthesis ...

As transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in prokaryotes, while RNA polymerase is still in the process of transcription, ribosomes may start to translate the mRNA being produced.
