A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

The FDA has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to LP-284, a next-generation acylfulvene small molecule, for the treatment ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

A new study shows that DNA forms coils under stress, not the tangled knots that scientists expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

Our brains store immense information about our experiences, feelings, and the world around us. Networks of neurons encode these signals as memories. These networks are called engrams. Select neurons ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
