From proofreading polymerases to complex backup repair systems, DNA repair is a high-yield MCAT topic that bridges molecular biology and human health. Understanding the mechanisms that safeguard ...

When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...

Researchers have announced two major polymer science advances: a self-assembling polymer system that improves gene delivery safety and efficiency, and a chlorophyll-based supramolecular polymer that ...

A collaboration of scientists at the University of Manchester and the University of Birmingham has explored a more effective ...

EO1001 demonstrates up to ~40-fold greater potency than osimertinib in EGFR ECD-mutant tumor modelsEO4426 (tezacitabine) demonstrates selective targeting of DNA replication machinery and resistance to ...

Scientists have found that DNA polymerases can write long, structured stretches of new genetic material without any template to copy. That finding reframes a long-known but overlooked behavior as a ...

Space The AMOC moves closer to collapse, scientists create artificial neurons, the "Iliad" is found inside and Egyptian mummy, and researchers search for treatments for brain-eating amoebas Space ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A salamander can ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
