In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a unique viral mechanism: A molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...

The atomic structural analysis also revealed the role of the so-called capping enzyme. It is stably integrated into the complex and ensures that the newly formed viral mRNA is immediately provided ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. The study reveals a ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel approach to halt the progression of colorectal cancer by inducing irreversible cellular aging. Their findings demonstrate that suppressing a ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

Abstract Cancer cells precisely modulate replication stress to sustain genomic instability without triggering lethal DNA damage, yet regulators ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a molecular brake that limits DNA replication in healthy cells, revealing how cells prevent a long-suspected replication catastrophe and pointing to a potential ...

The London biotech will develop small-molecule therapies to target a pathway some cancer cells use to lengthen their life ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have uncovered how the DNA repair enzyme XPF-ERCC1 is recruited to sites of damage and activated inside cells, resolving a long-standing ...
