An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an ...

A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another ...

How can cells be programmed to respond to complex signals and make targeted decisions, similar to a logical circuit in a computer? Researchers have developed a new approach: an RNA-based genetic ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

The human body runs on chemistry—from the water that regulates temperature to the proteins that carry oxygen and signal cells ...

A recent study utilizing cryo-EM advances our understanding of how bacterial immune systems function and reveals new aspects ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Centre for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed the first RNA-based genetic switch that precisely replicates the logical ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Thioguanosine (shown as S in the sequence) is placed at nearby, non-complementary positions within a DNA duplex. When exposed to light or mild oxidants, the modified bases react to form a disulfide ...

The University of Chicago will honor three distinguished scholars, including chemist Sir Shankar Balasubramanian, during its Convocation ceremony for the Class of 2026 on June 6. The other two ...
