Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Activated immune cells secrete tiny capsules bearing DNA that can enter other immune and tumor cells to stimulate the body's ...

A subtle failure during cell division can set off dramatically different outcomes, according to new research exploring whole ...

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics ...

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

Researchers have identified a pathway that triggers an immune response in cells with defective DNA repair. In particular, the ...

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 ...

Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...

A new kind of CRISPR that destroys cells rather than gene editing them has shown potential for killing sick cells while ...
