Researchers have created a detailed map of chemical modifications to DNA that occur in the human brain from the earliest ...

Sections of DNA once dismissed as dormant and useless could in fact be recruited to fight certain types of drug-resistant ...

At times, aging doesn’t become evident in wrinkles or in gray hair, it occurs deep inside your body, in cells that have ceased to divide but are still alive. These “zombie cells,” or senescent cells ...

A newly discovered protein from Earth's toughest animal is inspiring breakthrough therapies for cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Recent research has uncovered a fascinating mechanism in the nematode worm C. elegans that could have profound implications ...

This important study presents a thoughtful design and characterization of chimeric influenza hemagglutinin (HA) head domains combining elements of distinct receptor-binding sites. The results provide ...

DNA shines a light back into the past, showing us things that fossils can't. But how far back can that light extend? Some of the oldest DNA sequences come from mastodon and polar bear fossils about 50 ...

An artificial intelligence model predicts how brain immune cells react to RNA and DNA nanoparticles, helping scientists design safer and more effective nucleic acid therapies faster.

New research posits that a genetic incompatibility between female offspring of humans and Neanderthals and their children ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual ... Feinberg School of Medicine New research reveals the second language of the human genome – one not written in its chemical ...
