Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory functions across different cellular processes. This makes them an interesting ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene’s DNA sequence. Present in both DNA and RNA sequences, a G-quadruplex (GQ) is a structure of four guanine bases ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have shown that an important class of DNA-binding factors can also bind to RNA, regulating gene expression through various mechanisms. The study significantly ...

A Purdue University team has discovered a new therapeutic target for triple-negative breast cancer. The research, led by Kyle Cottrell, an assistant professor of biochemistry, spotlights ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a large-scale screening approach that identifies ...

Our immune systems are remarkably adept at sounding the alarm when something goes wrong—sometimes even to the point of overreacting. But what happens when a notorious oncoprotein like MYC learns to ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...
