Clearing circular RNA from cells extends lifespan, C. elegans study reveals
Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins. Researchers at KAIST have discovered a new phenomenon: Removing “circular RNA” that accumulates in cells as we age can…
