About three-fourths of our genome is transcribed into RNA, and these RNAs are involved in essentially every cellular process. Like us, RNA cannot do its job if it is not in the right place at the ...
Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important cellular task, from ferrying messages to ...
(Nanowerk News) Some Covid-19 vaccines safely and effectively used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver messenger RNA to cells. A new MIT study shows that different nanoparticles could be used for a ...
There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the right times. RNA is one such molecule; the sequences for different proteins ...
A new, 3D-printed, lab-on-chip system combines eRapid and SHERLOCK technologies into a single, postcard-sized system that can simultaneously detect the presence of both SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antibodies ...
Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and ...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CAMP4 Therapeutics, a biotechnology company harnessing the power of regulatory RNA to restore healthy gene expression, announced research published by the lab of ...
When scientists are working with RNA in the lab, they have to take a lot of precautions because RNA degrades so easily. When tissue specimens are used for RNA extraction, they are typically used ...
In mice and human cell cultures, researchers showed that novel nanoparticles can deliver a potential therapy for inflammation in the brain, a prominent symptom in Alzheimer's disease. In mice and ...
A figure from the paper shows that an siRNA delivered by a lipid nanoparticle was able to reduce expression of the protein PU.1 and other related markers (IBA1, C1q, GFAP) in the brains of mice. The ...
