A handful of start-up firms are testing therapies that target specific epigenetic markers to treat everything from high ...

Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome editing technique ...

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic-level views of human SMUG1, a key enzyme involved in repairing damaged DNA.

Decisions based on evidence accumulated over time require rules governing when to end the accumulation process and commit to a choice. These rules control inherent trade-offs between decision speed ...

Damaged DNA can escape from one human cell and infiltrate another. Like prisoners tunneling out of jail, this DNA travels via tubelike structures between neighboring cells, scientists report May 19 in ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden “sugar code” on the surface of human cells that could transform how diseases are detected. Using an advanced imaging technique called Glycan Atlasing, researchers at ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack the complex cellular machinery of the human body. Yet, even after decades ...
