When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

A collaborative study published in Immunity from the Batista Lab and Liu Lab at the Ragon Institute, together with the Schief ...

Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a ...

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

The typical job of the proteasome, the garbage disposal of the cell, is to grind down proteins into smaller bits and recycle some of those bits and parts. That's still the case, for the most part, but ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

The idea of self-amplifying gene editing is to get cells to pass on packages of CRISPR machinery to their neighbours, boosting the effect ...
