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 by ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study. ADA2, previously known for its role ...

In any human’s bodily fluids, including blood, urine, saliva or feces, there are small segments of DNA and RNA present independent of cells. These cell-free nucleic acids (cfNAs) can contain key ...

Disease-causing viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis virus, and influenza virus pose serious threats to public health. To combat viral outbreaks, early detection of a virus’s presence in a population ...

A researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. A ...

Purdue University researcher David Thompson has developed LENN, a system to deliver nucleic acid-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. His and his team’s research into using LENN to deliver ...
