Protein droplets serve important biological functions within cells, but in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, these ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, they show that the metabolite L-arginine enhances the stability of protein ...

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 ...

Scientists now recognize that spontaneous DNA errors, which we acquire in early development all the way until our last breath ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Chemical reactions drive life. They ensure that cells obtain energy, proteins perform their functions, and DNA changes under ...

DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are quadruple helix structures formed by a continuous guanine-rich DNA sequence. Although DNA G4s are thought to be involved in various biological processes, in many cases ...

Scientists are exploring prime editing to correct a genetic defect that leaves about 10% of cystic fibrosis patients without effective treatments. The technique can inscribe engineered suppressor ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
