Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique for the amplification of DNA in vitro (this describes experiments with cells outside their normal environment). PCR amplifies DNA using complementary ...

Researchers have discovered that a gene normally responsible for repairing damaged DNA may actually contribute to ...

Learn how viral vector release testing for AAV and lentiviral vectors utilizes orthogonal assays for titer, capsid content, ...

Arctic's bowhead whales defy ageing norms, living over two centuries with remarkable disease resistance. A groundbreaking ...

Viruses play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems. They profoundly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, flow of matter and global biogeochemical cycles. Yet despite their ...

For millennia, thick, healthy hair has symbolized both masculine virility and feminine appeal. So when hair thins or disappears altogether—which happens to approximately 80 percent of men and 50 ...

What can the shape of the nucleolus tell us about a cell’s response to drugs? Researchers use advanced microscopy techniques ...

Mfantsipim rose out of a spirit of social responsibility, and that spirit has survived the test of time and is evident in the lives of many Old Boys who work to improve the lives of many through ...

Researchers developed an AI tool that links cellular structure changes to drug effects by analyzing biomolecular condensates.

The microscopic yeast that could survive in association with a 5,300-year-old body feels unlikely, almost speculative. Yet the frozen remains of Ötzi, the Copper Age “Iceman” preserved in the Alps and ...
