In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...
The United States Food and Drug Administration has just approved the first-ever clinical trial that uses CRISPR-Cas13 RNA editing. Its aim is to treat an eye disease called wet age-related macular ...
It's no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers ...
Scientists are exploring how RNA might have jump-started life four billion years ago and how it's now advancing drug ...
People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it ...
The investment from Brown parents Giammaria and Sabrina Giuliani will support scholars seeking to unlock the potential of RNA ...
In 2018, the RNA Society endorsed Aug. 1 as annual World RNA Day, and depending on when you’re reading this article, the anniversary of that day is either upon you now or has likely passed you by ...
Brown’s Giuliani RNA Center and the Rhode Island Life Science Hub co-hosted a symposium focused on how scientists can work ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
Recently, demands in RNA manufacturing for long-chain RNAs exceeding 100 nucleotides, such as single guide RNA (sgRNA) for genome editing, have been increasing. Generally, these types of RNA are ...
