What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
Researchers are learning more about sequences of DNA that are transcribed into RNA molecules by the cell, but never translated into protein, or so-called non-coding RNAs. The non-coding portion of the ...

Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
A special class of ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, called long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNA), may provide a new target for preventing and treating gastric, or stomach, cancer, according to ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of ...
A previously mysterious small RNA molecule in mice is found to play a crucial role in gene expression, and may be the first identified member of a new class of regulatory RNAs. A previously mysterious ...
“There is strong debate in the scientific community on whether the thousands of long non-coding RNAs generated from our genomes are functional or simply byproducts of a noisy transcriptional machinery ...
In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...
Bayer signed a collaboration and licensing agreement with Boston-based NextRNA Therapeutics in a bid to develop new cancer medicines. The companies will work together on developing two small-molecule ...
