RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

Some 39,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in present-day Siberia, destined to be blanketed by ice and permafrost that would end up preserving its body — even down to the hair and muscle. Now, that ...

In the final moments of Yuka the woolly mammoth’s life, he may have been trying to outsprint a cave lion. Yuka’s hind legs bear scratches — and in his muscle tissue, scientists have detected molecular ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.

RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a high-throughput sequencing approach that enables comprehensive quantification of transcriptomes at a genome-wide scale. As a result, RNA-Seq has become a routine ...

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are essential for the continuous production of sperm and the maintenance of male fertility. Their selection, culture, and molecular characterization provide critical ...

To our immune system, naked RNA is a sign of a viral or bacterial invasion and must be attacked. But our own cells also have RNA. To ward off trouble, our cells clothe their RNA in sugars, Vijay ...
