Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...

A study published in Nature has established the first direct link between common genetic variants in mothers and the risk of ...

Cellular findings show Telomir-Zn modulates intracellular metal balance linked to oxidative stress, mitochondrial ...

For life to develop on a planet, certain chemical elements are needed in sufficient quantities. Phosphorus and nitrogen are essential. Phosphorus is vital for the formation of DNA and RNA, which store ...

Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

AI can help protein engineers optimize the transcription enzymes used to make mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics, say the authors of a new study.

The experts can use these findings in their search for life on exoplanets with similar chemical profiles.

A newly identified driver of melanoma growth not only promotes tumor blood supply but also helps tumors evade immune attack.

Cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness worldwide among adults over 50, despite major advances in surgical treatment.

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

For the first time, scientists have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of aneuploidy, in which cells have an abnormal number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy in egg cells can lead to ...
