A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within a cell to manufacture proteins. "The ribosome is really the most ...

Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding ...

How can cells be programmed to respond to complex signals and make targeted decisions, similar to a logical circuit in a ...

Scientists developed a new mRNA platform that keeps vaccines and therapies effective in older adults and patients with obesity, where current treatments often lose potency.

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Researchers will investigate how a common dietary nutrient may control a hidden layer of gene regulation in cancer cells.

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly ...
