Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to ...

Scientists have developed a lipid nanoparticle system that enables mRNA to cross the blood-brain barrier, a long-standing challenge in n.

When Xiao Wang applied to faculty jobs, many of the institutions where she interviewed thought her research proposal - to ...

The Mt. Sinai study could open the door to future therapies for Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brain cancer, and ...

They do not contain weakened or inactivated viruses. Instead, they do contain a type of genetic information (called mRNA) with instructions on how to create copies of the coronavirus’s ‘spike’ protein ...

Scientists used nanoparticles to introduce genetic material into plants, enabling faster and temporary crop modifications.

Following the lead of previous work on mRNA-based vaccines, therapies for spinal cord injuries and more, the method relies upon mineral-coated microparticles to deliver mRNA that encodes for ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

The work has now been published in Nature Communications ... in which the relevant information is copied from a gene into messenger RNA (mRNA). The mature mRNA is then translated into the required ...

“And changing the mRNA recruited to the focal adhesions also changed how ... “It’s a discovery that could open up a whole new area of research into how cells work and move — processes that are ...
