Scientists have uncovered how a surprisingly structured protein helps disordered molecules regulate gene expression, upending previous ideas in molecular biology. Inside every human cell, proteins ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, ...

Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Understanding the natural geometry of crystals has long fascinated scientists, especially when studying how materials behave ...

A portion of our genome that was once dismissed as being “junk” may actually play an important role in regulating gene ...
