Researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at NUS have developed a new method that allows ...

Synthetic cell SpudCell, the first built from non-living components by University of Minnesota synthetic biologists Kate ...

A tiny bubble of lipids, enzymes and DNA has done something biologists have chased for years: it carried out a full cycle of ...

Human skin is constantly rebuilding itself. Every few weeks, the outermost layers shed and are replaced by new cells pushed up from the base. For decades, scientists believed this renewal depended ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential than researchers realized. Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered ...

‘Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out’ — this principle is the need of the hour for Class 12 students preparing for their ‘final quest’. CBSE will conduct the Biology exam ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

A new study has uncovered a previously overlooked hotspot for mutations at the starting points of human genes. These regions mutate far more often than expected, especially during the earliest stages ...

Few biologists have acquired the kind of celebrity status that James Watson and Francis Crick did. Their discovery of the double helical structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 is considered one of the ...

A study reveals the secrets behind the rodent’s remarkable ability to live 10 times longer than expected, without cancer or age-related degenerative diseases. When applied to fruit flies, researchers ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
