piRNAs function in the germline to silence genetic elements such as retrotransposons and in RNA silencing as components of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).
HIV-1 elicits RNA silencing in human cells, but also contains a sequence that suppresses the process, researchers report in the May issue of Immunity. Coauthor Yamina Bennasser and her colleagues ...
In addition, we found consistent patterns of RNA expression and RNA modification patterns of calls under the cultured with different active compounds, which may provide a therapy target for curing ...

Noise-induced hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. It’s not as much a matter of how loud a sound seems, but how forcefully the sound waves enter the structure of your ear. If someone ever ...
Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA, another ...
The field of plant photobiology has evolved rapidly over the past decade, expanding our understanding of how light influences every aspect of plant life, from gene expression to ecosystem interactions ...
This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...
