A promising route to develop new treatments for skin cancer has been identified by University of Bath scientists, who have found a molecule that suppresses melanoma tumour growth. Although the research is at an early stage, the team hope that their work could help develop new ways to combat melanoma and potentially other cancers too. The team from the University ...

Scientists image heart lncRNA structure for the first time
Scientists at Los Alamos and international partners have created the first 3-D images of a special type of RNA molecule that is critical for stem cell programming and known as the “dark matter” of the genome. “As far as we know,” said corresponding author Karissa Sanbonmatsu, “this is the first full 3-D structural study of any long, non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ...
