A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a unique type of non-coding RNA produced by back splicing of mRNA to form the covalent junction without 3’-5’ polarity and poly(A) tail. CircRNA was first discovered about 30 ...

Researchers have gained new insights into largely overlooked circular RNAs in brain cells and the crucial role they play in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. In addition to providing valuable ...

Differentially expressed circFKBP8(5S,6) is a circular RNA with coding potential identified in control volunteers and patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). cFKBP8 is the protein encoded by ...

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...
