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 ...

Researchers discovered that proteins SMG5 and SMG6 combine to form an active endonuclease that cuts faulty mRNA during nonsense-mediated decay. Individually weak or inactive, the proteins together ...

Researchers from the University of Cologne and the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry show that the targeted interaction of two proteins ensures that a key control mechanism in the formation of prot ...

In today’s rapidly evolving scientific landscape, eliminating barriers to progress is more critical than ever. Precision medicine and targeted therapies hold great promise but are dependent on the ...

Researchers shamelessly copy viral strategies to get mRNA medicines into cells in one piece (Illustration courtesy of Joe Luciani ...

People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it lingers and causes harm, others say that idea just doesn’t hold up. A new ...

Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...

Oklahoma has always valued independence, common sense and practical solutions. mRNA therapeutics help doctors do no harm and ...
