As millions of people know firsthand, the most common side effect of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot is inflammation: ...

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution ...

An easy method for efficiently identifying proteins that interact with bioactive molecules has been developed by chemical biologists at RIKEN. This innovation, published in ChemBioChem, could help to ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, multi-step process by which they are made. During brain development ...

Instead of modifying T cells outside the body, Capstan uses an in vivo messenger RNA (mRNA) approach to provide a set of instructions for cells to make CAR proteins to fight cancer and autoimmune ...
