More than four billion years ago, Earth was a very different place. Pools of water froze and thawed in cycles, minerals shaped reactions, and molecules bumped into each other by chance. Out of this ...

Studying a trio of non-coding RNA molecules produced abundantly in bacterial cells, a SLAC/Stanford-led research team discovered extravagant, multistrand complexes made entirely of RNA—structures they ...

RNA–protein interactions are fundamental to cellular function, orchestrating gene expression through the regulation of RNA processing, localisation, stability and translation. These interactions, ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), reports a new study from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Using ...

A Purdue University team has discovered a new therapeutic target for triple-negative breast cancer. The research, led by Kyle ...

Purdue researchers identify the PACT protein as a potential target for triple-negative breast cancer, opening new paths for future treatments.

Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a powerful new technology that can map the entire network of RNA-protein interactions inside human cells - an achievement that ...
