Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...

An interview with Hunt for the Oldest DNA director Niobe Thompson about chronicling Eske Willerslev's breakthrough research ...

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

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

Brains with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) show DNA damage similar to Alzheimer’s. Study links genetic stress to ...

When melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) encounter significant DNA damage—particularly dangerous double-strand breaks, the stem ...

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.

I/ATLAS made its closest approach to Earth on 29 October 2025, coming within 1.8 astronomical units, or around 167 million miles.

Some scientists instead believe Dsup acts like a shield. In this model, Dsup coats and physically blocks radiation from striking DNA. Others think it boosts the cell’s repair machinery, fixing damage ...

Abstract: Advancements in DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies have enabled the storage of data on synthetic DNA strands. However, realizing its potential relies on the design of tailored coding ...
