The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

A child with a rare genetic disorder — spinal muscular atrophy type I — was treated prenatally for the first time. Courtesy of Jakob Owens  via Unsplash During an amniocentesis test, a long, thin ...

This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins. It explains how genes encode instructions for amino acid ...

Feedback discovers that breasts have been "largely ignored" when it comes to tactile acuity – but is relieved that ...

Linear RNA is inherently unstable so using it in mRNA vaccines requires that the vaccines be stored and deployed in specific ... The study also discovered that circRNAs with a singular internal ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. But those battling the disease saw promising results in the small clinical trial of an mRNA vaccine.

When a gene is ‘expressed’, the cell copies its sequence of bases into a messenger RNA (mRNA) and loads it onto a cellular machine called the ribosome. There its base sequence specifies the ...

Together, we intend to accelerate the field of next-generation medicines in mRNA and CRISPR, using best-in-class chemistries, processes, and proprietary technologies like CleanCap ® analogs ...
