Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Cancer cannot be explained by mutations alone. Today, cancer is understood as a multifactorial disease, shaped by genetics, ...

Researchers from IIIT Hyderabad are using cutting-edge technologies for early detection of cancer, and more personalised ...

A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and ...

DNA is the blueprint for life, influencing everything about us—including our health. We know that our genes, the genetic “words” that encode proteins, play a major role in health and disease. But the ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments that can control gene activity in specific cells. These sequences, called ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

Whenever we need to perform a task, our cells rely on proteins to accomplish the job. Want to move? That’s a job for actin. Want to see? Rhodopsin will help you. Want to smell? That’s what olfactory ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...
