When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...
A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.
Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...
Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients. Their ...
In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...
mRNA, 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 ...
