Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Studies show aging men often lose the Y chromosome in some cells, a change now linked to heart disease, cancer, and shorter ...

To help reduce the misuse and misunderstanding of current science, scientific research needs to be explained in language the ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

Whenever we need to perform a task, our cells rely on proteins to accomplish the job. Want to move? That’s a job for actin. Want to see? Rhodopsin will help you. Want to smell? That’s what olfactory ...

Why cells grow to just the right size has long baffled scientists. Too small or too large, and cells can trigger serious diseases, but the genetic switch behind this balance has remained elusive. Now, ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Abstract: In the rapidly evolving field of consumer healthcare, the exploration of non-coding RNA interactions is crucial for drug development and personalized therapy. However, through traditional ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

Ischemic heart disease remains a major global health challenge, with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) being one of its most common and severe pathophysiological complications. The ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
