The latest discovery in the galactic center strengthens the Milky Way's resemblance to a mouth-watering treat.

Many cancer-associated mutational signatures remain unexplained. Team CAUSE aims to connect DNA damage, mutational patterns, ...

New research presented today at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) suggests that exposure to air pollution may impact genes associated with ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

The prostate is the single organ most frequently afflicted by cancer in men. Prostate cancer affects approximately 4 million American men, with another 330,000 men expected to be diagnosed with the ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...

CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...
