Scottish RNA sequencing company, Wobble Genomics, has announced that its technology can detect rare full-length RNA transcript variants not picked up by other methods, detecting early-stage breast ...

IGF2BP2 binds to a number of RNA transcripts and has been suggested to function as a tumor promoter, although little is known regarding the mechanisms that regulate its roles in RNA metabolism. Here ...

Liquid biopsies are tests that detect signs of cancer through a simple blood draw. Unlike traditional biopsies, which require removing a piece of tissue, a liquid biopsy typically looks for mutations ...

A new approach using RNA instead of DNA has improved the accuracy of liquid biopsy tests for early-stage colorectal cancer, according to a study by researchers at the University of Chicago. The method ...

American biologists Victor Ambros from the University of Massachusetts and Gary Ruvkun from Harvard University have won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. They share the prize for their ...

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 ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.
