Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no ...

RNA-based medicine is about to take a huge leap forward thanks to the discovery of extremely short RNA fragments with ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning algorithms, ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA, that significantly advance genetic ...

Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that recognized ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as ...

The rapid evolutionary dynamics of RNA viruses, driven by high mutation rates and the consequent formation of complex quasispecies populations, present a formidable obstacle to conventional molecular ...

Researchers showed that an RNA-based therapy targeting the SETBP1 mutation reduced the incidence of hydrocephalus in mice, ...

RNA-based medicine is about to take a huge leap forward thanks to the discovery of extremely short RNA fragments with important anti-inflammatory ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...
