Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays a key role in biochemical processes which occur at the cellular level in a water environment. Mechanisms and dynamics of the interaction between RNA and water were now ...

Xeno nucleic acids are essential for the development of nucleic acid-based drugs. To be effective, they need to be able to stably bind to natural RNA (a cellular single-stranded version of the DNA, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — RNA has been in the limelight for its starring role in cutting-edge vaccine technology, but RNA molecules are also key players in the inner workings of cells. This lesser explored RNA ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) hold great promise for pharmacotherapy. Now, researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, advancing their earlier work on a ...

Small fragments of RNA that break away from immune cells might set people on the path to cardiovascular disease. Mast cells—immune cells produced in the bone marrow — are known to encourage the ...

“We now have a pathway that would allow us to use simple molecules that were likely present on the early Earth,” study coauthor Thomas Carell of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München told New ...

As medical research progresses, traditional treatment protocols are being rapidly exhausted. New approaches to treat diseases that do not respond to conventional drugs are the need of the hour. In ...
