Examining mRNA transcription difficulties
The corona pandemic has ensured that the term "mRNA" is now also known to a large public beyond laboratories and lecture halls. However, the molecule is much more than an important component of a successful vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. "mRNA.....»»
Researchers induce cancer cells to "commit suicide" with a self-produced bacterial toxin
For the first time in the world researchers at Tel Aviv University have encoded a toxin produced by bacteria into mRNA (messenger RNA) molecules and delivered these particles directly to cancer cells, causing the cells to produce the toxin—which ev.....»»
Rise of the RNA machines: Self-amplification in mRNA vaccine design
The next generation of self-replicating mRNA vaccines could have fewer side effects such as fever, headache and fatigue. This would partly result from the application of artificial intelligence in vaccine development. This is the prediction of Gorben.....»»

A roadmap for gene regulation in plants
For the first time, researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a genome-scale way to map the regulatory role of transcription factors, proteins that play a key role in gene expression.....»»
New connection between early transcription termination and RNA turnover
An international collaboration between two Danish and two German teams has delineated that the so-called "Arsenite resistance 2 (ARS2)" protein is capable of inducing early transcription termination by recruiting the termination factors ZC3H4/WDR82 v.....»»
Nucleoside analogs for messenger RNA metabolic labeling and sequencing
High-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is widely used to profile global cellular gene expression and gain insights into cellular biological processes; however, effectively tracking dynamic changes in cellular mRNA expression remains a challenge. Be.....»»
Opinion: Conspiracy theories aren"t on the rise—we need to stop panicking
Several polls in the past couple of years (including from Ipsos, YouGov and most recently Savanta on behalf of Kings College Policy Institute and the BBC) have been examining the kinds of conspiratorial beliefs people have. The findings have led to a.....»»
MacWhisper transcription app gets major update with new Display Mode
MacWhisper is a macOS app that uses OpenAI technology to locally transcribe audio and even video files into text. Developer Jordi Bruin is now rolling out version 3.0 of the app, which comes with numerous improvements – including a new Display Mod.....»»
Examining "glitches in the matrix": Team finds ways to harness quantum power of atomic flaws
The most interesting parts of nature are often the imperfections. That's especially true in quantum physics, the atomic-level world where tiny flaws can make a big difference in the ways particles behave and interact......»»
Examining impacts of elevated salinity on microbial interactions within activated sludge microbial community
Biological treatment processes are critical for sewage purification, wherein microbial interactions are tightly associated with treatment performance. Previous studies have focused on assessing how environmental factors (such as salinity) affect the.....»»
From cross to self-pollination: Examining how plants develop different routes to replication
There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilize themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as "selfing", is that one individual of these plants can single-h.....»»

Research team develops sophisticated model to assess lactating cow heat stress
University of Minnesota researchers have developed a highly sophisticated model to assess lactating cow heat stress, a problem that can lead to numerous health complications for cows and financial difficulties for dairy producers due to reduced milk.....»»
Cyber extortion hits all-time high
Cyber extortion attacks have become increasingly prevalent in recent years, posing a significant threat to organizations of all sizes and industries, according to Orange Cyberdefense. Examining data from a total of 6,707 confirmed business victims, t.....»»
Examining the long-term effects of data privacy violations
Regulatory bodies are taking potential data privacy violations much more seriously this year after a relatively quiet period that followed the enactment of regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer.....»»

iOS 17 Messages adds emoji tapbacks, stickers, audio message transcription, more
Apple announced a bunch of new features for iMessage in iOS 17. This includes emoji tapbacks and a new emoji stickers interface. The little-used iMessage apps have also been hidden away behind a sub-menu, for a cleaner and simpler overall design. Ot.....»»
Examining the propagation of ultrasonic waves through liquids containing encapsulated bubbles
Scientists from the University of Tsukuba obtained a new theoretical equation for the propagation of ultrasonic waves through liquids containing encapsulated bubbles. They found that including the compressibility of the bubble shell was vital for acc.....»»
Examining domain walls in magnetic nanowires
Magnetic domains walls are known to be a source of electrical resistance due to the difficulty for transport electron spins to follow their magnetic texture. This phenomenon holds potential for utilization in spintronic devices, where the electrical.....»»
