For decades, circular RNA was treated as little more than molecular background noise — stable fragments that accumulated in ...

A new study shows how circular RNA (circRNA) affects wound healing in human skin. Researchers have discovered a unique circRNA, CircGLIS3 (2), which temporarily increases in skin cells, known as ...

The ELAV protein binds to specific regions of the precursor RNA, namely to so-called reverse complementary sequences (RCMs) in the introns flanking the "backsplice junction" (BSJ) that is crucial for ...

Analysis of circular RNA (circRNA) in human brain cells reveals their role in neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. circRNAs have typically been set aside as junk and, as a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are gaining new insights into neurological diseases by studying circular RNAs (circRNAs) in brain cells. A new study has identified over 11,000 distinct RNA circles that characterized ...

Although the genetic material of most living organisms is DNA, various self-replicating agents rely instead on RNA, including ...

The Mass General Brigham Gene and Cell Therapy Institute (GCTI) today announced it has launched the RNA Therapeutics Core, a first-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art facility and resource to advance the ...
