Too much RNA can starve cells of energy, scientists discover

A new study found that excess RNA, including normally essential messenger RNA (mRNA), can directly disrupt mitochondria—the cell's energy-producing structures—without relying on the immune system. Researchers say the finding could help explain how viral infections and certain aging-related diseases damage cells.
