Some pathogens use temperature as a trigger and activate virulence only after entering the warmer environment of a host. A research team from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the University of ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The international ...

Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

A study conducted in fruit flies by investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has linked a patient variant of ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.

Researchers developed a retron-based system that enables DNA to function as an active intracellular tool rather than merely ...

Cancer treatment has long been haunted by the same problem: how do you strike dangerous cells without hitting healthy ones ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

A new tool greatly improves scientists' ability to identify and study proteins that regulate gene activity in cells, according to research led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The technology ...
