Engineered telomerase RNA and polygenic scores reveal new insights into
Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure—protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Summary Telomeres, Read More
Two solutions unlock safer RNA therapies for inflammatory diseases –
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are tiny fat bubbles that are used to deliver medicines, genes, and RNA into cells. However, in some cases LNPs can cause harmful inflammation as a result of the process of RNA Read More
To our immune system, naked RNA is a sign of a viral or bacterial invasion and must be attacked. But our own cells also have RNA. To ward off trouble, our cells clothe their RNA Read More
Nascent RNA profiling uncovers molecular drivers of cellular differentiation –
Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, have documented their use of a new RNA sequencing technology to uncover molecular drivers of cellular differentiation that could Read More
The human body has to protect itself from pathogens and infectious agents, and there are a variety of ways for the immune system to sense… Summary The human immune system defends the body against harmful Read More
Nature Immunology, Published online: 29 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02251-2 TLRs are blind to pseudouridine RNA Summary A new study published in Nature Immunology reveals that Toll-like receptors (TLRs), key components of the innate immune Read More
Whole transcriptome sequencing RNA library preparation gets a boost from the latest automated liquid handling technology. Summary Automated liquid handling technology is streamlining RNA library preparation for whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). This automation enhances efficiency, Read More
RNA Extraction Protocol in Detail Let’s dive into details using a widely accepted protocol based on an RNA extraction kit (which utilizes the organic extraction method with TRIzol, which is a monophasic solution of Read More
