Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Technological and computational advances in recent years, from cryo-electron microscopy to sequencing technologies and machine learning, have substantially deepened our understanding of RNA splicing, ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

Boosting levels of a certain molecule that declines with age was found to restore memory and brain function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) models – not just by improving energy metabolism, as previously ...

Researchers in the Landau lab, led by Dr. Dan Landau, hematology and medical oncology, recently developed a new technique to investigate how mutations in RNA splicing can lead to clonal hematopoiesis ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Gliomas, a type of brain tumor, are notoriously difficult to treat due to their complex genetic makeup and ability to evade ...

In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia. The research was conducted by scientists led by LI Ming ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...
