L’era dell’RNA è cominciata. Se per oltre mezzo secolo è stato il DNA a monopolizzare, con la sua doppia elica, i pensieri e le azioni di esperti e ricercatori, ora è l’RNA a prendersi la scena: non potrà più essere considerato un semplice corista biochimico che si sgola all’ombra della grande diva, ma il vero protagonista dello spettacolo della vita. Non più soltanto messaggero, ma catalizzatore di reazioni chimiche che non necessitano di altri enzimi o proteine. Gli studi condotti negli ...

Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA—long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA—sits at the center of biology's greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old? In The...

It sounds incredible, yet it is literally true, that every Slavic nation was, before the war, and probably still is, better known to the English speaking people than the Bohemians (Čechs). What is the reason? That the Bohemians, who are the most literate of all the Slavs, have remained undiscovered may be attributed to three main causes: They are not a free nation. They are a landlocked nation. They are rated a small nation. The opportunities which a seacoast offers to a people, to mention...
