Some pathogens use temperature as a trigger and activate virulence only after entering the warmer environment of a host. A research team from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the University of ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery of binding partners invisible to single-molecule techniques.

Cancer treatment has long been haunted by the same problem: how do you strike dangerous cells without hitting healthy ones ...

Pathogenic bacteria often delay the activation of their virulence program until they are inside the host. Researchers have ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The international ...

A study conducted in fruit flies by investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has linked a patient variant of ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

Independent experimental approaches demonstrate changes in TFAM binding to UVC-irradiated DNA, providing a potential mechanism for DNA damage sensing in the mitochondria.

A new tool greatly improves scientists' ability to identify and study proteins that regulate gene activity in cells, according to research led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The technology ...
