Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a ...

Folate receptors (FRs), membrane-bound proteins that bind specifically to folate with high affinity, are overexpressed by various cancer types and are therefore used as targets for delivery of ...

When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to findings published in PLOS ONE ...

We have invented a method of force-modulated hybridization for DNA/RNA detection and analysis, along with the associated device and consumables. The invention possesses three unique capabilities.

Nucleic acid technology came of age during COVID-19 with biopharma firms developing, testing, mass producing, and shipping mRNA vaccines in record time. However, as the pandemic ebbs, the industry ...

Peptide nucleic acids progress for gene editing and antisense drugs These lab-made molecules can bind to genes more strongly than DNA and RNA do, making them promising drug candidates and genetic ...

UNSW Sydney researchers identify physical factors that determine how quickly two DNA strands can come together, resolving a decades-old conundrum.

In recent years, the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) has been proposed as an alternative to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for diagnosis. Unfortunately, the sensitivity of the HCR methods are ...
