Yet elongate, high aspect ratio nucleic acid nanofibers with enhanced functional capacity remained beyond reach. When introduced intravenously, these filaments instantly activated complement cascades ...

Gene therapy involves the introduction of functional genes into cells to replace or correct defective genes. Nucleic acids, such as viral vectors or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, are used to ...

A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

Here we present a microRNA (miRNA) knockdown application, based on the use of Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA™)-modified ... specific and potent tools for functional analysis of miRNAs.

RSC members can join the Nucleic Acids Group by updating their details in the “My communities and subscriptions” tab of the online RSC membership area. Please click here to login and add to your list ...

Three decades ago, chemists created a synthetic family of DNA-like molecules, peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), that bind ... bases containing cationic lipid groups that increase stability and ease ...

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 ...

A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all ...

The Purdue University Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) reviews research protocols involving the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA), synthetic nucleic acids, and/or biohazardous agents that present a ...
