RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects.

Deep within our nerve cells, a molecule is at work that has no beginning and no end. Instead of a straight chain, as is common for most RNA strands, it forms a closed loop. Known as circular RNAs ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological ...

The low pressure area (LPA) spotted inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility is “unlikely” to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Monday afternoon. At 3 p.m., ...

MANILA, Philippines — The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), which currently affects Mindanao, may likely cause the formation of a circulation that may become a low-pressure area (LPA), the ...

By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease-causing gene mutation with a single infusion carrying a treatment that precisely targeted the errant gene. This was the first time a mutated ...

The death of actor Gene Hackman remains under investigation after he was found Wednesday at his home in New Mexico. The actor, his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa, along with a dog, were found dead ...

Zerlasiran is an investigational short interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule that works by silencing the LPA gene, which encodes for a certain protein found in lipoprotein(a), also known as Lp(a), a type ...

Zerlasiran, a siRNA therapy designed to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by “silencing” the LPA gene, was shown to produce a placebo-adjusted reduction from baseline lipoprotein A ...
