Proteins are critical to life—and to industry. There are countless proteins that could be engineered to treat and even cure ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have successfully restored youthful patterns of DNA organization in the livers of old mice ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

The causes of male infertility can be hard to diagnose, with many tests failing to detect genetic defects. Sometimes, ...

A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The findings reveal a previously ...
