“An RNA world, in which RNA took on the tasks of DNA and proteins, might have preceded the DNA-based life we know today.” Read about the multifaceted functions of RNA in this month’s newsletter: laskerfoundation.org/rnas-ex…

RNA’s Extreme Makeover - Lasker Foundation

One day in November 2000, developmental biologist Victor Ambros sat down in his office at Dartmouth Medical School to read the latest issue of the journal Nature. Flipping through the pages, he was...

Replying to @NobelPrize
@NobelPrize winner Thomas Cech's recent essay in the @nytimes highlights #RNA as the molecule set to redefine the future of science. While DNA has historically dominated research, RNA is emerging as a cornerstone for new scientific breakthroughs. In the essay, Cech recounts his discovery of RNA's catalytic power, emphasizing its roles beyond genetic information storage, such as enzyme activity and chromosome protection. RNA's versatility has led to innovative therapies, including #mRNA vaccines and treatments for spinal muscular atrophy and cancers. Cech sums up the opportunity by saying, "The age of RNA is just getting started." 🔗 Read the full essay here: nytimes.com/2024/05/29/opini… We are honored to have Thomas Cech as an External Advisor at the Science Philanthropy Alliance, where he continues to inspire and guide our mission to advance scientific discovery through visionary philanthropy. #science #philanthropy
