Aptamers are short DNA or RNA strands that can recognize and bind to a specific target molecule with high precision. Similar ...

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

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

We tend to think of the DNA strands that contain our genetic code as consistent, stable units. But in reality, the cells that ...

Researchers at Harvard University have developed a semiconductor chip that can synthesize 64 different ...

UT Austin researchers folded DNA into a nanoscale Longhorn, demonstrating a breakthrough that could help deliver cancer drugs ...

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

Scientists discovered a protein that helps plants repair DNA damage from sunlight, which could improve future crop gene ...
