Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise. For the first time, scientists have created a molecule that can identify ...

By restructuring a common chemotherapy drug, scientists increased its potency by 20,000 times. In a significant step forward for cancer therapy, researchers at Northwestern University have redesigned ...

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.

This important study presents a thoughtful design and characterization of chimeric influenza hemagglutinin (HA) head domains combining elements of distinct receptor-binding sites. The results provide ...

An artificial intelligence model predicts how brain immune cells react to RNA and DNA nanoparticles, helping scientists design safer and more effective nucleic acid therapies faster.

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack ...
