In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises unfold in real time. Inside every cell, DNA breaks, repairs, and sometimes ...

Scientists at UC San Francisco have developed a way to create cancer-fighting CAR-T cells directly inside the body, potentially avoiding the slow and extremely expensive process of removing, ...

Researchers have engineered Detectrons, toehold-switch biosensors coupled to retron reverse transcription, that convert ...

Researchers at Cornell University identified the BC200 gene, which originated from a transposon in human DNA. This gene ...

Death does not make DNA disappear. Long after the heart has stopped and the brain has lost function, genetic material can remain inside cells and tissues. What changes is the environment around it: ...

A new critical review in Molecular Biology Reports systematically compares the biochemical, cellular, and genome-wide assays ...

Two new studies from Johns Hopkins University are providing scientists with an unprecedented view of how human cells repair one of the most dangerous forms of genetic damage: a break that severs both ...

A DNA nano-harvester stays on its track inside tumor cells, measuring cancer aggressiveness by detecting a key microRNA biomarker. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Detecting a cancer-linked microRNA inside a ...

When scientists assess how dangerous a bacterium is, the first question often seems simple: Can it be stopped or killed? In ...

A new machine learning-based platform called MALVINA measures bacterial invasion, intracellular accumulation and DNA damage at single-cell resolution, exposing infection dynamics that conventional ...

A genome search and protein language model produced new DNA-moving proteins, including one that doubled targeted insertion in lab tests.
