New research identified a stable ATP-binding human noncoding RNA that could advance RNA therapeutics by revealing new ways to ...

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) constitute a diverse class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but exert critical regulatory roles in virtually all aspects of cellular physiology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) ...

All cells in the human body—and the motions they enable, from our beating hearts to our wiggling toes—use energy generated by ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

Kaushik Chanda is a postdoctoral researcher at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology (Scripps Research). He studies how long non-coding RNAs drive structural ...

Sarra Limam, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of South Florida, investigates how injury-induced non-coding RNAs ...

All cells in the human body – and the motions they enable, from our beating hearts to our wiggling toes – use energy generated by a ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Macrophages are considered the "scavenger cells" of the immune system, but some pathogens exploit these very cells as hiding ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
