Using a DNA-based scaffold carrying viral proteins, researchers created a vaccine that provokes a strong antibody response against SARS-CoV-2. Using a virus-like delivery particle made…
A groundbreaking study shows that mitochondrial DNA mutations are key indicators of a patient’s likelihood to respond to immunotherapy, revolutionizing cancer treatment approaches. Cancer Research…
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor…
UNC researchers have discovered how cancer cells escape immune detection by deactivating the cGAS-STING pathway, offering new avenues for cancer treatment. Every time a cancer…
MIT study suggests 3D folding of the genome is key to cells’ ability to store and pass on “memories” of which genes they should express….
Circular DNA, thought to be an accidental byproduct, is borrowing the cell’s DNA repair mechanisms to copy itself. Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic…
The breakthrough paves the way for the design and construction of more complex structures. Nanoengineers have created a quasicrystal—a scientifically intriguing and technologically promising material…
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have uncovered a mechanism that instantaneously generates DNA palindromes, potentially leading to the creation of new microRNA genes from…
For years, scientists have debated whether humans or the climate caused the population of large mammals to decline dramatically over the past several thousand years….
Researchers led by Osaka University develop a new gene modification technique known as NICER that significantly reduces off-target mutations in DNA. The gene editing technique…
ETH Zurich researchers are illuminating what can happen when cells exceed their normal size and become senescent. Their new findings could help to optimize cancer…
Researchers using the new FLSHclust algorithm discovered 188 unique CRISPR-linked gene modules, including a novel type VII CRISPR-Cas system, in a massive protein database. This…
By analyzing bacterial data, researchers have discovered thousands of rare new CRISPR systems that have a range of functions and could enable gene editing, diagnostics,…
Two Eötvös Loránd University researchers have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how we age. Researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös…
Extracellular vesicles significantly contribute more to horizontal gene transfer in oceans than previously thought. The oceans are teeming with microorganisms engaging in a dynamic exchange…
Results from a study published in the journal Nature Communications, co-designed and co-supervised by Prof. Evis Sala from the Catholic University at Rome, and Policlinico…
New research finds RNA-guided enzymes called Fanzors are widespread among eukaryotic organisms. A diverse set of species, from snails to algae to amoebas, make programmable…
