Ferroptosis represents a distinct form of regulated cell death, characterised by the iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes. Unlike apoptosis or necroptosis, ...

The discovery of non-coding RNAs has expanded our understanding of how genetic features are linked to cellular function. The illumination of this so-called dark matter of the genome has revealed new ...

Scripps Research postdoctoral researcher Kaushik Chanda explores the mechanisms by which non-coding transcripts modulate neuronal function and structural integrity during learning and memory loss.

Long non-coding RNAs exist in the so-called "Wild West" (99%) of the human genome that is currently understudied. Not only does this finding have treatment implications for patients with ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

A research team from National Taiwan University, Academia Sinica, and National Taiwan University Hospital has uncovered a critical connection between a unique RNA molecule and human aging, including ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

A research team has uncovered a previously unknown RNA-based control system that helps tea plants regulate amino acid ...
