A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), ...

Bacterial RNA chaperones, most prominently the Hfq protein, orchestrate post-transcriptional regulatory networks that underpin virulence, stress adaptation and host colonisation. By binding both small ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method, published in Molecular Cell, is a powerful ...

Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

The origin of life continues to remain a matter of debate. The ribonucleic acid (RNA) world hypothesis proposes that 'ribozymes' which store genetic information and possess catalytic functions may ...

A new perspective on gut immunity is highlighting the powerful role of RNA modifications in shaping how the body maintains balance in the digestive system.

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

It enables precise removal and replacement of faulty RNA segments without changing DNA. Researchers from the School of ...

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...

Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular therapies. Review: RNA ...
