Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have created a synthetic cell-like structure that can control the movement of ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

Senescent cells refuse to die. They stop dividing, resist the body’s normal cleanup signals, and leak a cocktail of inflammatory molecules into surrounding tissue. Researchers call them “zombie cells, ...

DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug molecules. This breakthrough simplifies chiral drug production, reducing waste ...

Researchers at the University of Bonn have isolated a DNA molecule that is suitable for combating allergic contact dermatitis in mice. The aptamer binds to certain immune system messenger substances, ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The findings provide new insight into how cells recognize and remove harmful DNA ...

As the rate of humanity’s data creation increases exponentially with the rise of AI, scientists have been interested in DNA as a way to store digital information. After all, DNA is nature’s way of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: In a new study published in the journal eLife, scientists from Stanford ...
