The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins – yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently deliver RNA vaccines and other types of RNA therapies. After training a ...

Like tiny superheroes, small, naturally occurring segments of RNA can block multiple molecular paths that cancer cells use to ...

A new technique tags neurons with RNA barcodes to identify synaptic connections through sequencing. It allows rapid mapping ...
