When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.
New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...
Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...
Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...
Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...
Rosalind Franklin was a brilliant physical chemist whose X-ray diffraction work revealed the structure of DNA with ...
Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...
RNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a "therapeutic agent," but a technology that delivers the ...
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
