"We wanted to make a soft material, nanoscale robot with grabbing functions that never have been seen before." Researchers ...

Researchers optimized Takumi-shaped DNA nanostructures to form efficient hydrogels with minimal DNA units for sustained drug release and high retention abilities.

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard ...

A surprising new study suggests that COVID-19 may not have originated from bats or pangolins, but rather from a rare fusion of human diseases. Using an advanced AI-driven approach called max-logistic ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics have unveiled a groundbreaking map of human DNA mixing during reproduction, offering insights into genetic diversity, health, and fertility. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
