AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

(Nanowerk News) If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

Rb1 loss may serve as a predictive biomarker to guide new targeted therapies for select breast cancers resistant to standard ...
