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

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Gilead (GILD) and Assembly Biosciences (ASMB), announced Gilead has exercised its combined option to exclusively license Assembly Bio’s herpes ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

DEAD-box RNA helicase 17 (DDX17), a key member of the DEAD-box family, is vital in cellular physiological processes. This review summarizes its structural properties, distribution, functions, disease ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...

Analysis of ancient proteins may fill in the gaps of human evolution left by the decomposition of DNA. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Tiny "hidden" proteins lurking in DNA once dismissed as junk may hold the key to the next generation of obesity drugs, according to a new study that has uncovered dozens of new fat-regulating ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
