Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

A research team has developed a new RNA-based system that can detect coronavirus infection in real time inside living cells—and even trigger antiviral responses only when infection occurs.

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...

CRISPR gRNA is used to knock out specific genes in cells, which is barcoded into the sEVs they release. By analyzing the barcodes in the sEVs and cells, researchers can better understand the factors ...
