Circular RNA may be part of the solution. Because circular RNA has no ends to degrade—unlike linear RNA—the molecule is more stable and its half-life is extended.

“Circular types were discovered 5-10 years ago; we’ve known they existed since the 70s, but until deep sequencing technologies advanced we were never able to pull them out of the data ...

Viroids are tiny strands of circular, infectious RNA. They differ from viruses in that they do not have a protective protein coat and that they do not encode any proteins of their own. They are ...

Circular RNAs are a type of non-coding RNA, meaning they generally don't carry instructions for making proteins in the body. However, they do help control how and when genes get turned on or off.

A new review article highlights the transformative role of circular RNA (circRNA) in cancer, revealing its potential as both a key player in tumor biology and a promising avenue for future therapies.

Their work revealed some interesting things. The research team found that a specific muscle protein, known as MEF2C, is significantly reduced in muscle cells with CP. Further, they discovered that a ...

“Circular RNA has long been cast aside as junk, but we believe it has an important role in programming human brain cells and synapses,” said Clemens Scherzer, corresponding author of the study.

The mRNA technology used in vaccines against viral infections could also be developed for cancer therapies. A group of scientists has designed a circular RNA (circRNA) encapsulated in lipid ...
