Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of ...

Researchers at the Université de Genève have built a DNA-based drug delivery system that reads pairs of protein markers on a cell’s surface, decides whether the cell is cancerous, and then floods it ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

Engineered cells are a high-value genetic asset that is key to many fields, including biotechnology, medicine, aging, and ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...

The left-handed spiral of each Z-DNA strand is highlighted on the left. Binding and bonding of the two zinc finger domains (shown in red) from the CTCF protein to Z-DNA (shown in blue). This protein ...

When cells in the body die, they release DNA. This DNA, known as cell-free DNA (cfDNA), makes its way into the bloodstream where it gets chopped up by enzymes, and in minutes to hours, the liver pulls ...
