Potential applications inside living cells "We can control how and where these RNA droplets form and what they attract, effectively creating new, temporary rooms inside the cell furnished with ...

A new RNA-based method creates programmable artificial organelles inside living cells, enabling customizable compartments for nanomedicine and gene engineering. (Nanowerk News) Just as the human body ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than ...

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.

RNA interference is a natural mechanism for living cells to control whether specific genes are being used or not.

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, functional fragments rather than following the standard blueprint. This process, ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...
