How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

For the first time, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed a technology allowing them to "see" single molecules of messenger RNA as they are translated into proteins in ...

mRNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a “therapeutic agent,” but a technology that delivers the blueprint for functional proteins into the body so that induces therapeutic ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

The maps of electrical brain activity taken during the making of memories are well established, but how those memories are stored and subsequently released remains unclear. In 23 October Proceedings ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing biochemical reactions and transporting molecules to providing structural support ...

Coronaviruses are single-stranded positive-sense enveloped ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses that can be subdivided into four genera, including Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma coronaviruses. Four ...

A pink ribosome surrounds part of a red-and-yellow helix-shaped strand of messenger RNA while a yellow protein branch extends from the ribosome. A graphic representation of a ribosome (pink) ...

Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein.
