DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

As part of a person's first line of defense against viruses and other microbes that cause illness and disease, a whole ...

Cells use a step-by-step process to untie knots in DNA, called G4 structures. First, the G4 knot is recognized as a problem by the cell. Special DNA damage response proteins start the repair by ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a more sensitive liquid biopsy test that uses RNA instead of DNA for detecting cancer. Using blood samples from patients with colorectal cancer, ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

A new study reveals that blocking ribosomal RNA production rewires cancer cell behavior and could help treat genetically ...

New method maps RNA in cells at native locations, revealing spatial responses to signals and offering insight into disease mechanisms and treatment targets.

BCC Research announces the release of its "2024 Protein Synthesis Research Review," which provides comprehensive insights into the rapidly growing protein synthesis market. This review highlights ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

A long-standing question in the field has been whether RNA in cells helps keep the genome stable beyond acting as a copy of DNA in the process of making proteins and a regulator of gene expression ...
