Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Microscopic scaffolding to house the tiny components of nanotech devices could be built from RNA, the same substance that shuttles messages around a cell’s nucleus, reports a ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...
In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...
It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist at Stockholm University, first laid eyes upon a special specimen on a lab table in eastern Siberia. "Our Russian collaborators said, 'Come here into this ...
RNA clusters (green colored) gradually disassemble within biomolecular condensates (magenta colored), returning the RNA to a soluble state. This occured after an antisense oligonucleotide engineered ...
