Genes inherited from the now-extinct Denisovans are actively playing a role in the immune system of some people from Oceania.

A local research study led by scientists from the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) has uncovered how the gut ...

MARTs catalyze MARylation, the hydrolases reverse MARylation and ADP-ribose binding domains recognize MARylation. The newly identified MARylated substrates includes protein, DNA and RNA, and possess ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich and the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed an artificial ...

Neurons are the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system, regulating both vital functions and higher functions. Among the very few cells in the body that do not regenerate, these cells ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. DSBs are the most threatening types of DNA damage; nevertheless, they can be efficiently repaired by different repair pathways, ...

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

Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...
