A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

A study finds that removing accumulated circular RNA slows aging and extends lifespan, with an enzyme preventing toxic RNA ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins ...

New research identifies a critical RNA recycling system that prevents cellular "clogging," offering a new path for anti-aging therapies.

Scientists discover ALS protein that links DNA repair to cancer and dementia: Study ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

To understand the human genome, scientists focused on protein-coding genes and their functions for decades. This has given us ...

With AI, it's now possible for researchers to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins directly from their ...

The Iñupiat people of Alaska have long said that bowhead whales live two human lifetimes. That oral knowledge turned out to be conservative.
