Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

An international research team has deciphered a mechanism of the evolutionary arms race in human cells. The findings provide ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in ...

The findings have been published in Communications Chemistry ("Study on molecular orientation and stratification in RNA-lipid nanoparticles by cryogenic orbitrap secondary ion mass spectrometry").

Lipid nanoparticles (LNP’s) came to prominence for delivery of RNA with the success of the Moderna and Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines. They are also used to deliver therapeutic treatments including ...

Our research offers insights into the design of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), an advanced delivery system for RNA-based therapies, including some of the mRNA vaccines developed during the COVID-19 ...
