Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic and widely prevalent condition characterized by a progressive loss of glycemic control driven by both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. The disease has long ...

Can we predict—and prevent—why transplanted beta cells fail? A preclinical study titled “ChemPerturb-seq screen identifies a small molecule cocktail enhancing human beta cell survival after ...

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA ...

These kits have been designed for the isolation of total RNA from a range of samples, including cells, bacteria, yeast, viruses, and bodily fluids, including plasma/serum, blood, saliva, CSF, and more ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...

Advances in genomics and transcriptomics continue to catapult basic and clinical research into a new era. A more comprehensive examination of genomic and transcriptional states allows for ...

An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...
