Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. Once considered mere transcriptional noise, lncRNAs are now known to play vital roles in ...

For years, Yale researchers David Breslow and Mustafa Khokha have worked together with a similar challenge in their ...

In the field of nutritional epidemiology, understanding how plant-based polyphenols are metabolized within the body is ...

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective caps are crucial to the stability of chromosomes, and when telomeres ...
