A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.

RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has ...

A naturally occurring gene called Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), which turns off after birth in humans, can actually make new, functioning heart cells and help the heart repair itself from injury, including a ...

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

Scientists have long believed that a universal genetic code serves as a blueprint for all life on Earth, dictating the structure and function of organisms from the simplest bacteria to complex humans.

Recent research has uncovered a fascinating mechanism in the nematode worm C. elegans that could have profound implications ...

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a known risk factor for coronary artery disease, though its precise role in disease progression continues to emerge. This study leverages ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...

The microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body-plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...
