A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies ...

Discovery reshapes understanding of how tumor cells repair broken DNA, pointing toward more precise cancer therapies.

CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

Revised: This Reviewed Preprint has been revised by the authors in response to the previous round of peer review; the eLife assessment and the public reviews have been updated where necessary by the ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops, and how you respond to disease. Bills owner made call to fire coach in locker room after ...

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 ageing, cancer, ...

Scientists have sequenced the genome of the elusive “vampire squid from hell” for the first time, providing insights into the origin of cephalopods like octopuses. It’s the largest cephalopod genome ...
