Most people have heard of RNA and DNA before, but many aren’t sure what they do. A smaller amount may know that DNA is important—they’ve heard of it on crime shows and what not. But a surprising amount of people have simply never heard of RNA before. This is too bad considering how important RNA

The ability to implant sensors and other devices into a person’s body holds great promise for future medical science. The ability to do this would give doctors the ability to monitor minute changes to a person’s physical state along with detecting deviations from normal states that would otherwise be undetectable with current instruments. Much of

Known as RNA, ribonucleic acid is one of the essential molecules to human life. It plays a huge role in the expression of genes, as well as regulating, coding and decoding them. Along with DNA, it makes up the category nucleic acids. DNA, RNA and protein are the three macromolecules that are absolutely necessary for

For many women, childbirth is a wonderful experience. While giving birth to a baby can be one of the most incredible experiences in a woman’s life, it does come with a few unwanted side effects. After giving birth, many women experience a weakening of the muscles in the vagina and pelvic floor. Also called vaginal

I initially made my way down to San Diego after getting disappointed with life just a few hours north. This city had it all for me. Beautiful weather, genuine folks, access to entertainment and culture, and basically everything I’ve looked for in an urban, environment. It was the light at the end of the tunnel.

Those most may not have heard of it, oligo synthesis is one of the unsung heroes of microbiology. The advances this unknown procedure has produced is overwhelming. The process synthesizes shorter sections of nucleic acid with specific chemical sequences. This is extremely important as it allows scientists to efficiently and affordably create custom oligonucleotides or
