Biologists have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf surface may play a role in shaping the ...
With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...
Preclinical data demonstrates that Shape’s engineered AAV5 variant, SHP-DB1, efficiently targets the NHP brain after intravenous injection and ...
A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...
Living longer doesn’t always mean living healthier, and researchers are exploring how diet can extend healthspan.
