A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

When AlphaFold solved the protein-folding problem in 2020, it showed that artificial intelligence could crack one of biology’s deepest mysteries: how a string of amino acids folds itself into a ...

Discovery reshapes understanding of how tumor cells repair broken DNA, pointing toward more precise cancer therapies.

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

DPY30 was identified as a promoter of cancer cell proliferation and tumor survival. Targeting this protein may enhance the ...
