To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the ...

Scientists have created an artificial RNA system that can copy itself using simple building blocks and temperature changes.

A fungus that is thought to have claimed the lives of several excavators working on King Tutankhamun's burial site has had a ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Researchers from China recently reported that it’s hard to make sense of the widespread persistence of A-to-I mRNA editing in animals Published - May 19, 2025 05:30 am IST ...

Therapies involving mRNA, a key to Covid vaccines, hold great potential in treating several diseases, but some lawmakers want to ban them and the government is cutting funding.
