DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

The molecules that form the building blocks to life may be far more common in space than once thought, according researchers ...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team of astronomers led by Abubakar Fadul from the Max ...

The central role of nucleic acids in biological information flow also makes them key targets for pharmaceutical research, and synthetic molecules mimicking nucleic acids form the basis of many ...

(Linear nucleic acids are delivered in random form and, therefore, do not engage the TLRs as effectively.) The study will be published the week of March 16 by the Proceedings of the National ...

The intracellular environment is highly compartmentalized; biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and so on) are spatiotemporally organized to form functional modules, signal pathways and ...

Although, other nucleic acid-like polymers are known, ... and synthetic molecules mimicking nucleic acids form the basis of many treatments for viral diseases, including HIV.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the ...

An innovative programmable tool for targeting nucleic acids has been created, utilizing a prokaryotic immune defense system—and it is not CRISPR-Cas. Russian Academy of Sciences researchers have ...

They also found that they could deliver nucleic acid into the back muscles in mice. After just a week, they noticed that new blood vessels had grown in the animals’ muscles, and that these vessels ...
