Researchers achieved a new development in their studies in this new publication focusing on nano-sized robots that came from a DNA's design, now concentrate on doing wonders for biological ...

Biochemists have developed a new strategy for controlling the biological functions of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by means of light and therefore provide a tool to investigate processes which take ...

The human genome has its own proofreaders and editors, and their handiwork is not as haphazard as once thought. When DNA's double helix is broken after damage from, say, exposure to X-rays, molecular ...

DNA molecules have been shown to be excellent substrates for the design and construction of mechanical molecular devices that sense, actuate and exert functions when exposed to external signals 1. DNA ...

BERKELEY, CA — Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Scripps Research Institute have uncovered the role played by the least-understood part of a ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

Neurons are the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system, regulating both vital functions and higher functions. Among the very few cells in the body that do not regenerate, these cells ...

DNA is a biological molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to function, develop, and reproduce. It is present in all forms of life on earth and contains each organism’s genetic code ...
