During translation, multiple ribosomes travel along the nucleic acid chain to build polypeptides that become functional proteins. Occasionally, these molecular decoders pause on the mRNA, either ...

Messenger RNA can travel between different types of stem cells through tunnel-like structures, as revealed by a new study. By studying interactions between mouse and human stem cells, they discovered ...

In the course of these studies, we found that 3′UTRs determine where in the cytoplasm an mRNA transcript is translated. Moreover, we found that the cytoplasm is highly compartmentalized into different ...

Abe's team overcame this hurdle by introducing a cap structure into the circular mRNA itself. This internal cap structure ...

Drug developers will now have enhanced abilities to rapidly prototype, test, iterate, and scale up their mRNA therapeutics.

However, the therapeutic effectiveness is limited by the poor translation uptake of naked mRNA. To circumvent this challenge, researchers from VIB, VUB, Ghent University, and eTheRNA ...

Wacker Biotech announced a strategic collaboration with RNAV8 Bio, a pioneer in mRNA engineering for the development of ...

Scientists at Shinshu University School of Medicine have developed a synthetic mRNA that, when injected, revitalizes the immune system to recognize and attack metastasizing cancer cells.
