The protein, referred to as AGO2, is involved in what is known as RNA interference, a mechanism that regulates gene activity. While AGO2 usually works outside the cell nucleus, in conjunction with ...

Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that ...

Vaccines using mRNA are currently being studied for a wide range of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment helps connect two key steps of gene expression: the reading of genes and the ...

At MIT, one genome researcher is testing a different approach. Bin Zhang, associate professor of chemistry and the leader of ...

"Its RNA stabilizes the cytoplasmic protein PCOLCE and activates fibroblasts to rebuild damaged tissue, while its protein binds to BTF3 in the cell nucleus and promotes cell growth." The study ...

A breakthrough in early detection of a common disease in cows could save farmers in the UK millions of pounds.
