RNA biology has won two consecutive Nobel Prizes in 2023 and 2024. Along with other groundbreaking discoveries, these Nobel Prize-winning advancements in RNA biology have significantly impacted the field of molecular biology and continue to challenge some of our central ideas about life and gene regulation. One of the best examples supporting this notion is … Continue reading The Evolution of the Central Dogma: Insights from RNA Biology

From RNA Editing to Nobel Honors: Revolutionizing RNA Based Therapeutics

~ Fadel Fakih

Gene expression is intricately controlled through various regulatory layers, spanning from transcription to post-translational modifications. In 1970, the discovery of RNA editing marked a pivotal moment in molecular biology, unveiling N6-methyladenosine (m6A) as the first identified RNA modification. Today, RNA editing stands as a crucial facet of gene regulation, contributing not only to our understanding … Continue reading From RNA Editing to Nobel Honors: Revolutionizing RNA Based Therapeutics
