Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their mitochondrial DNA evenly spaced and ready for inheritance during division. The finding ...

Researchers in France and Japan have transmitted what they describe as the first DNA-encrypted message between laboratories, sending encoded data between Paris and Tokyo using synthetic genetic ...

The etiology of liver cirrhosis has transformed from hepatitis B virus-driven to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic ...

The etiology of liver cirrhosis has transformed from hepatitis B virus-driven to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

Scientists now recognize that spontaneous DNA errors, which we acquire in early development all the way until our last breath ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), made from many copies of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), is the core component that powers ...

Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...
