An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

RNA does more than previously thought: it also operates on the outside of cells. Research by biochemist Jack Li shows that this may be important for how the immune system responds to disease.

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.
