How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

Collaborative research by the University of Tokyo and RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has led to the development of a new method for simultaneously synthesizing all transfer RNA (tRNA) ...

Life may have first emerged in deep sea thermal vents or surface hot springs (Yellowstone National Park’s Grand Prismatic Spring is shown here). New research shows how high-energy thioesters could ...

HC Bioscience is shutting down after conducting preclinical models for a transfer RNA (tRNA) asset designed to treat hemophilia A. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotech is closing “following ...
