Non-coding antisense RNA can be used to stimulate protein production Date: October 16, 2012 Source: RIKEN Summary: While studying Parkinson's disease, an international research group made a ...

Linked to neurological disorders, repeat RNAs aggregate inside droplets but can be disassembled with an engineered piece of ...

Researchers found that artificially increasing the levels of a molecule called AST (antisense transcript), an antisense RNA ...

The antisense fragment has the function of a "lock" into which the key of the coding RNA specific for that gene is inserted, while the other one has a stimulating function on protein synthesis." ...

Gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) has become a powerful tool for functional genomics. In the January 25 Science, Tijsterman et al. report a gene-silencing method induced by short (25 ...

GGGGCC repeats in the C9ORF72 gene, sometimes numbering in the thousands, are the most common genetic cause of ALS and FTD (see Sep 2011 news). Both sense and antisense transcripts containing these ...

Antisense RNA has emerged as an important type of inhibitor of HIV gene expression, 14 18 19 and one in vivo study, where macaques whose T lymphocytes had been transduced with antisense-expressing ...

For at least 30 years scientists and drug developers bent on a sorely needed new class of therapeutics have been studying antisense RNA. The concept is deceptively simple: Binding of an ...

Depending on where they are designed to bind, these antisense molecules can prevent an RNA from being translated into a protein, which reduces levels of that protein in the body or brain.

The antisense fragment has the function of a "lock" into which the key of the coding RNA specific for that gene is inserted, while the other one has a stimulating function on protein synthesis." ...
