Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in many malignancies, including gastric cancer, where they may act as oncogenes or tumour suppressors. This study examined six lncRNAs—SLC12A5-AS1, ...

A long non-coding RNA with the unassuming name Loc646329 may be one of the brain’s quiet defenders against Alzheimer’s ...

Macrophages are considered the "scavenger cells" of the immune system, but some pathogens exploit these very cells as hiding places. Researchers from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered that a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which are usually 200 nucleotides longer than typical RNAs and are widely expressed in cells, could serve ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

From smart chatbots to apps that can write entire articles, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly ubiquitous part of our lives. Michael Schon, a research associate at Wageningen ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

I completed a master's degree in a science-related graduate school and work as a researcher at a manufacturing company. On ...

Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...

Holstein cattle are the workhorses of the global dairy industry, animals bred over generations for one overriding trait: milk ...
