By stimulating cancer cells to produce a molecule that activates a signaling pathway in nearby immune cells, MIT researchers have found a way to force tumors to trigger their own destruction.

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by ...

The Durotriges were a Celtic tribe that lived in present-day southern England prior to Roman conquest during the 1st century CE. Extensive archaeological excavations and DNA analysis indicate that the ...

A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve ...

France’s trove of DNA profiles has helped solve high-profile crimes and was used to find some of the Louvre suspects, and it is growing. The police can also access other countries’ databases.

Genetic tweaks allowed early humans to stand, balance and walk on two legs instead of moving on all fours like other primates, according to researchers.

The RAD52-DNA complex is a dynamic guardian of genomic stability. When this balance falters, cells may either self-destruct or, worse, turn cancerous.

A DNA test to see if police got the “wrong Shorty” over the 1988 murder of Janine Balding has so far found no link to another man accused by her killers of being the “right Shorty”.

In a groundbreaking step, researchers used cellular reprogramming to turn human skin cells into fertilizable eggs, paving the way for a future alternative for individuals who cannot conceive.
