Researchers at Utah State University revealed new details about CRISPR immune system defenses, such as Cas12a3 systems, that ...

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

A novel CRISPR defense mechanism, unlike known nucleases, specifically destroys transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNA) that are ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

A new research paper featured as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 12 of Aging-US was published on December 22, 2025, titled "A ...

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

Sugars essential for life were found for the first time alongside “space gum” on an asteroid hurtling towards Earth, indicating that our universe could be teeming with life, according to new research.

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The discovery came from studying tiny molecular messages ...

In a Phase 3 trial of more than 18,000 volunteers across three countries, an mRNA influenza vaccine from Pfizer has outperformed standard seasonal flu shots by 34.5%. It's yet another sign that this ...

Pfizer’s mRNA flu vaccine outperformed the standard flu shot in a Phase 3 clinical trial, according to results published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The vaccine uses the same ...

Researchers have sequenced the oldest RNA ever recovered, taken from a woolly mammoth frozen for nearly 40,000 years. The RNA reveals which genes were active in its tissues, offering a rare glimpse ...

The United States may be losing its edge in mRNA technology­­. The technology, which powered life-saving COVID-19 vaccines and is now rocketing new cancer therapeutics forward, will soon undergo a ...
