Monte Carlo simulation of early molecular evolution in the RNA World - Microsoft Academic Search. Newsroom. 17 February 2011 Deakin University medical scientists have created the world’s first cancer stem cell-targeting chemical missile, placing them a step closer to creating a medical ‘smart bomb’ that would seek out and eradicate the root of cancer cells.
The Deakin researchers have worked with scientists in India and Australia to create the world’s first RNA aptamer, a chemical antibody that acts like a guided missile to seek out and bind only to cancer stem cells. The aptamer has the potential to deliver drugs directly to the stem cells (the root of cancer cells) and also to be used to develop a more effective cancer imaging system for early detection of the disease. Their discoveries have been published recently in an international cancer research journal, Cancer Science.
The Director of Deakin Medical School’s Nanomedicine Program, Professor Wei Duan, said the development of the aptamer had huge implications for the way cancer is detected and treated.

Biotechdaily - Online bioresearch news. Study unravels molecular mechanism of biomolecule RNA that plays dynamic regulatory role in protein selection.
If a big bunch of your brain cells suddenly went rogue and decided to become fat cells, it could cloud your decision-making capacity a bit. Fortunately, early in an organism's development, cells make firm and more-or-less permanent decisions about whether they will live their lives as, say, skin cells, brain cells or, well, fat cells. Those decisions essentially boil down to which proteins, among all the possible candidates encoded in a cell's genes, the cell will tend to make under ordinary circumstances.
But exactly how a cell chooses its default protein selections from an overwhelmingly diverse genetic menu is somewhat mysterious. A new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine may help solve the mystery. The researchers discovered how a particular variety of the biomolecule RNA that had been thought to be largely irrelevant to cellular processes plays a dynamic regulatory role in protein selection. The RNA World and other origin-of-life theories. by Brig Klyce. The undreamt-of breakthrough of molecular biology has made the problem of the origin of life a greater riddle than it was before: we have acquired new and deeper problems. — Karl R.
Popper, 1974 (.2) Nobody understands the origin of life. If they say they do, they are probably trying to fool you. — Ken Nealson, 2002 (.5) We emerge inevitably or by luck from the chipping of DNA by cosmic rays, chemical currents in space, the bubbling of volcanic mud. — Dennis Overbye, 2004 (.6) Virtually all biologists now agree that bacterial cells cannot form from nonliving chemicals in one step.
If life arises from nonliving chemicals, there must be intermediate forms, "precellular life. " RNA has the ability to act as both genes and enzymes. The time had come to ask how the DNA→ RNA→ protein flow of information had ever got started. The first stage of evolution proceeds, then, by RNA molecules performing the catalytic activities necessary to assemble themselves from a nucleotide soup. Other Theories.
