The human body has to protect itself from pathogens and infectious agents, and there are a variety of ways for the immune system to sense foreign invaders, and react to the threats they may pose. But ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

RNA modifications have emerged as a pivotal area of focus in molecular biology and precision medicine. Recent breakthroughs highlight the dynamic nature of ...

RNA epigenetics also called Epitranscriptomics is an evolving field of research that explores chemical modifications on RNA and their impact on the cell and ...

Two University of Chicago scholars have been elected to theNational Academy of Sciences, joining other scientists and researchers chosen in “recognition of their distinguished a ...

RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The ...

Deciphering the spatial, temporal and chemical complexity of RNA molecules in living systems is key to understanding gene regulation at the molecular level. Recent advances in imaging, molecular ...

Emerging research highlights the transformative potential of m6A RNA modification in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). As the most abundant internal modification of ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...
