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 have ...

Viruses cannot replicate on their own, but rather depend on their host cell’s protein synthesis pathways to reproduce. This typically occurs by the virus inserting its genetic material in host cells, ...

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 in the ...

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in ...

Cells use the genetic information contained in DNA to generate proteins, which carry out many of the processes of life. RNA is the intermediate molecule; it is transcribed from DNA, then edited, ...

Replicate Bioscience wants to replicate the success RNA technology has had in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic but with self-replicating RNAs to go after cancers and autoimmune disorders at lower ...

Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth—a key process in the origin of life. Scientists ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Replicate Bioscience has early evidence its self-replicating RNA technology works in humans. The Apple Tree Partners biotech showed all doses of its rabies vaccine triggered protective responses, ...
