DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

POSTECH develops a platform for precise cellular control using "non-genetic DNA" decoupled from genetic information.

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

The origins of millions of tiny proteins in our bodies, previously assumed to be useless, have now been discovered. A study published on February 17 in the journal Molecular Cell describes how these ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood ...
