The revelation of DNA’s chemical structure made it possible to understand how it might replicate and direct the growth of ...

Gene therapy ‘switch’ may offer non-addictive pain relief. New approach targets pain signals while leaving the rest of the brain untouched.

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

If nonliving materials can produce rich, organized mixtures of organic molecules, then the traditional signs we use to ...

For decades, baldness treatments have inched forward with incremental gains and frustrating side effects. Now a simple gel built around a DNA sugar is producing such dramatic regrowth in animals that ...

A research team at The University of Osaka revealed that the loss of heterochromatin can cause a chain reaction leading to ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

New research provides a mechanistic map of how genetic mutations disrupt RNA splicing in acute myeloid leukemia.

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic ...
