DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at ...
Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and ...
Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic "blueprint," DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active "field agent" within cells. This research by a team led by Professor ...
A newly discovered protein from Earth’s toughest animal is inspiring breakthrough therapies for cancer and cardiovascular disease. In 2016, researchers uncovered one of the tardigrade’s secrets: a ...
A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that TDP43 controls a key DNA repair process, but when the protein becomes ...
Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...
