Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo will hold a news conference to address federal recommendations regarding COVID-19 vaccines for children on Thursday.

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 ...

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

No longer a mere assistant who carries out the commands of DNA, RNA takes the lead in emerging therapeutics.

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the genetic instructions from messenger RNA, mRNA, and deliver the ...

Screening mRNA delivery and expression The general approach involves designing protein barcodes, which are genetically encoded short amino acid sequences that can be added to protein-coding DNA.

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.
