The success of COVID-19 vaccines has highlighted the potential of mRNA-based therapies, which selectively manipulate how genes relay a function. RNA interference (RNAi), meanwhile, is a natural ...

A new study conducted by researchers at Hokkaido University has unveiled a novel class of zwitterionic phospholipids capable ...

1 This means miRNA guides can target any mRNA with homology to its seed region, even if the rest of the sequence is not a match. This promiscuous binding activity means that miRNA can act on many ...

RNA-based therapeutics are gaining traction due to advancements in delivery technologies, despite historical challenges with ...

RNA interference, and CRISPR-Cas gene editing being potential options. Moderna, one of the main players in mRNA therapies, has a pipeline of therapies targeting four distinct areas: infectious ...

RNAi – functions specifically to silence, or deactivate, genes. Among other applications, it promises to be groundbreaking as ...

siRNAs are 21-25 nucleotide dsRNA molecules that are perfectly complementary to their target mRNA. They are derived from long dsRNA precursors, which can be produced endogenously or introduced ...

MRNA technology is facing growing doubts among Republicans. This is a KFF Health News story. Researchers racing to develop bird flu vaccines for humans have turned to a cutting-edge technology ...
