This study provides valuable insights into human valve development by integrating snRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to characterize cell populations and regulatory programs in the embryonic and ...

Hollow Knight: Silksong begins with Hornet being transported by some bugs to an unknown land before having to fight and ascend her way through Moss Grotto to discover where she is and just what is ...

The sequel to Hollow Knight, Silksong begins with a cutscene of Hornet being taken to the kingdom of Pharloom in a cage, forced into submission with a seal of binding. Suddenly, the seal is broken as ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Chemists at 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 of ...

Founded by former OpenAI staff members and funded by Amazon and Google, Anthropic has raised the stakes in the GPT wars. Anthropic's Claude Desktop app often outshines its ChatGPT rival in various ...

Arnatar Therapeutics has unveiled with $52 million in series A financing to bankroll new RNA-based therapies, including a candidate that takes aim at a rare genetic disease called Alagille syndrome ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not without risk. When this type of "genetic surgery" is performed on DNA, for ...

The approval makes donidalorsen the only treatment in the US for hereditary angioedema that is an RNA-targeted prophylactic. “[Donidalorsen] represents a significant advance for people living with HAE ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

When cells expire, they leave behind an activity log of sorts: RNA expelled into blood plasma that reveals changes in gene expression, cellular signaling, tissue injury and other biological processes.

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 in sugars, Vijay ...
