Liquid brine veins, where RNA molecules can replicate, surround solid ice crystals in water ice, as seen with an electron microscope. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology ...

This enables the start of replication through transcription or translation for RNA or DNA viral genomic information, respectively.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created an RNA molecule that can not just replicate, but “evolve” into a diverse range of more complex molecules. This find could plug a major gap ...

Their study, which was published in Nature Chemical Biology, paves the way for new therapies that can "unfreeze" these RNA structures to combat other mosquito-borne RNA viruses.

Scientists have created a new type of genetic replication system which demonstrates how the first life on Earth—in the form of RNA—could have replicated itself. The scientists from the Medical ...

Chemists at UCL (University College London) have shown how two of biology’s most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin ...

The agreement provides research funding for Replicate and up to $550M in payments to develop medicines for diseases including obesity and diabetes.

And, of course, understanding how it infects and replicates within humans is key to developing new vaccines against it. Mosquito-borne ZIKV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA orthoflavivirus, ...

Novo Nordisk has brought on other cardiometabolic collaborators this year, including United Laboratories International and Deep Apple Therapeutics.

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) ...
