Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the most common neurologic disorders. Though current antiseizure medications (ASMs) can control seizures in two thirds of patients, ...

Nobel prize: check. Medical revolution: still pending. It took 30 years for a Nobel prize committee to recognize the discovery of tiny RNA molecules that regulate gene activity in our cells. Turning ...

Schematic showing the development of a new strategy for RNA delivery and reversible control. This method involves modifying the RNA with the addition of a disulfide bond that prevents it from ...

AIRNA has raised $155m in Series B financing to advance its RNA editing pipeline, and kick-start a clinical trial for its lead candidate, AIR-001. Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners and Forbion ...

Important progress for RNA research: A team has discovered a new ribozyme that can label RNA molecules in living cells. RNA molecules are real all-rounders. They transfer the genetic information from ...

Cancer cells are relentless in their quest to grow and divide, often rewiring their metabolism and modifying RNA to stay one step ahead. Now, researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive ...

RNA splicing determines which gene segments are used to build a protein. Krainer had designed Spinraza to home in on the exact spot where the drug would modify the production of a specific protein SMA ...

Cancer cells are relentless in their quest to grow and divide, often rewiring their metabolism and modifying RNA to stay one step ahead. Now, researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive ...

Chemists have developed a strategy using disulfide-containing small molecules to facilitate the reversible control and delivery of ribonucleic acid (RNA). A research team has developed a method that ...

RNA molecules are real all-rounders. They transfer the genetic information from the DNA in the cell. They regulate the activity of genes. And some of them have a catalytic effect: just like enzymes, ...
