Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Bacteria fend off invading viruses with molecular scissors that slice up viral DNA—a system called CRISPR that's become ...

Improved analysis adds several microproteins to the human proteome, and suggests a path toward identifying thousands more ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Expansion microscopy improves imaging resolution by ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops in the genetic material which determine the ...

Progeria is a genetic condition that involves accelerated aging. Patients develop wrinkled skin, hair loss, and bone and joint stiffness from a very early age. One of the more unusual forms of this ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that TDP43 controls a key DNA repair process, but when the protein becomes ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...
