In most modern cells, DNA stores the genetic blueprint, and proteins replicate, repair and build from those blueprints. At ...

A ribozyme found by accident selectively repairs broken RNA, suggesting early life could have preserved its genetic code ...

RNA has emerged as one of the most promising molecules in modern medicine, enabling advances from mRNA vaccines and gene ...

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the right times. RNA is one such molecule; the sequences for different proteins ...
