Multidrug-resistant bacteria pose a major threat to human health. Manipulation of bacterial genes at the transcriptional level is a potential strategy to fight antibiotic-resistant bacterial ...

Researchers from SRM Institute of Science and Technology, led by Dr. KN Aruljothi, have published a study in ExRNA ...

Stress granules (SGs) are transient organelles that form when cells experience stress, serving as critical hubs for RNA metabolism and cellular survival.

The COVID-19 virus spreads mainly through exposure to airborne droplets infected with the virus. While it's possible to be infected with COVID by coming in contact with a surface with the virus on ...

Of note, the accumulation or rG4s in neurodegeneration could have roles in addition to those of protein aggregation. RNA transport dysregulation has also been a common factor identified in ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A computational tool named NuFold has been developed to model 3D RNA structures, potentially accelerating medical discoveries by decades. This tool addresses the ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular ...

Our findings challenge previous assumptions about RNA transport. We've learned that RNA molecules can carry specific instructions not just between cells but across many generations, which adds a ...
