Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers from Hiroshima ...

Lice live their entire lives with a set of genes that in humans would indicate a late-stage degenerative disorder such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. How do lice tolerate this genome structure ...

A study by the team of Prof. Kristel Sleegers (VIB-UAntwerp), published in Acta Neuropathologica, has offered new insights ...

A pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered model able to understand the sequences and structure patterns that make up ...

Researchers have been fascinated by animals’ ability to create such huge variety from two simple building blocks, but until now there was no satisfactory explanation for this wealth of crystals in the ...

Researcher Jiang Biao of the Green Chemical Engineering Technology Research and Development Center of the Shanghai Advanced ...

The study highlights how EV-DNA packaging influences immune responses and its promise as a biomarker for assessing colorectal ...

What could improve density by orders of magnitude is molecular storage, notably in the sequence of the genetic molecule DNA. In 2012, a 5-megabit book was encoded in DNA and read back by George Church ...

Nanoscopy technology can drive biological discovery not just with imagery, but also with meaningful quantitative data.

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions.

The NanoGripper, a DNA-based nanorobot, rapidly detects and blocks viruses, including COVID-19, and could revolutionize ...

In a recent article, researchers explored the optical properties of surfactant-free DNA solid films, highlighting their ...
