Uncovering HIV's hidden loop: New finding offers hope for future treatments

For decades, scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years ...

A new method reveals hidden rules of gene control

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

Mining the dark transcriptome: Synthesizing the first potential drug molecules from long noncoding RNA

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

COVID mRNA Vaccines May Alter Gene Expression, according to Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons

The mechanism of action of mRNA vaccines goes far beyond harnessing host cellular machinery to produce antigenic proteins to spur immunity, write Nicolas Hulscher, M.P.H., Peter A. McCullough, M.D., M ...
