When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to findings published in PLOS ONE by ...

Published, peer-reviewed research shows a patent-pending, virus-mimicking platform technology developed at Purdue University ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study. ADA2, previously known for its role ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka reveal that genetic changes following the loss of heterochromatin can lead to ...

MicroRNAs, whose discovery was recognized with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, are central regulators of gene ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

Disease-causing viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis virus, and influenza virus pose serious threats to public health. To combat viral outbreaks, early detection of a virus’s presence in a population ...

In any human’s bodily fluids, including blood, urine, saliva or feces, there are small segments of DNA and RNA present independent of cells. These cell-free nucleic acids (cfNAs) can contain key ...

A researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. A ...
