A new study reports that the stress-induced pericentromeric lncRNA HSAT3 accumulates in nuclear stress bodies with TOP2A and ...

Current antiviral drugs already illustrate the value of targeting essential viral machinery. Remdesivir targets RdRp, the ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

A 2026 review examines how the host RNA-binding protein PTBP1 can support or restrict viral translation, replication and ...

Viruses are sneaky intruders, hijacking the internal machinery of host cells and replicating out of sight. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to developing effective antiviral strategies ...

Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth—a key process in the origin of life. Scientists ...

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, but the molecular interactions ...

Liquid brine veins, where RNA molecules can replicate, surround solid ice crystals in water ice, as seen with an electron microscope. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected danger lurking inside cells: too much RNA can damage the structures responsible for ...
