RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

A research team from the University of Cologne and collaborators has now shown that RNA interference, or RNAi for short, which is known to be a viral defense mechanism, also prevents the ...

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a ...

Boosting levels of a certain molecule that declines with age was found to restore memory and brain function in Alzheimer’s ...

RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug ...

An experimental RNA therapy from Avidity Biosciences has early clinical trial results showing it reduced by half the expression of a gene at the root of a rare, inherited form of muscular dystrophy ...
