Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

A research team from the University of California (UC), Irvine, has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. The ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink, ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...

Researchers investigating the complex gene regulatory mechanisms involved in healthy and disordered biological processes now have a new tool in their kit. Researchers at the University of California, ...
