New technique in RNA interference cuts time and cost in genetic screens

There is a new contender in the field of gene discovery, and it’s giving knockout mice a run for their money. Researchers at The Rockefeller University have shown that a new technique using RNA interference is able to find genes that cause epidermal tumor growth in months rather than the decades ...

Structural biologist, interested in ribosome assembly, to join Rockefeller faculty

At the heart of the central dogma of biology — that DNA makes RNA and RNA makes proteins — is the ribosome. Ribosomes serve as a cell’s protein factories, linking amino acids together into complex proteins according to instructions encoded in the cell’s messenger RNAs. It’s a process that ...

Researchers find molecule that causes sunburn pain

The painful, red skin that comes from too much time in the sun is caused by a molecule abundant in the skin’s epidermis, a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows. Blocking the molecule, called TRPV4, greatly protects against the painful effects of sunburn...
