A rapidly advancing area of biomedical innovation is shining a spotlight on miR-128-3p, a small yet powerful molecule with the potential to reshape how diseases—especially cancer—are detected, ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune ...

In a review article, researchers have uncovered compelling evidence that long noncoding RNAs—molecules once dismissed as "junk DNA"—may hold the key to revolutionizing how we diagnose and treat mood ...

A long‑overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviours that define Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), without affecting ...

Breakthrough discovery of fungal long non-coding RNA attack mechanism could enable greener, broad-spectrum disease-resistant ...

Bayer executives were keen to stress to Fierce this summer that the German pharma giant’s appetite for dealmaking hasn’t been curbed by a groupwide restructuring. Its latest cancer-focused ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells respond rapidly to infections.
