Sugars essential for life were found for the first time alongside “space gum” on an asteroid hurtling towards Earth, ...

Bennu asteroid discovery: Scientists found essential life-building molecules on asteroid Bennu. Sugars like ribose and ...

Could a dusty rock hurtling through space hold the recipe for life? NASA’s latest analysis of asteroid Bennu’s pristine ...

Talk about a sugar rush! NASA may have just come a little closer to cracking one of science’s most enduring mysteries — how ...

It’s been hypothesized for decades that life on Earth may not have been as “homegrown” as one might think and now, we’re ...

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) was the first member of the PARP family to be identified. The PARP family now comprises 18 members. PARP1 post-translationally modifies itself and a range of ...

New research suggests that the sugar ribose -- the “R” in RNA -- is probably found in comets and asteroids that zip through the solar system and may be more abundant throughout the universe than was ...

Outcome of Infants Younger Than 1 Year With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated With the Interfant-06 Protocol: Results From an International Phase III Randomized Study The DNA damage response (DDR) ...

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases regulates the interaction of many DNA damage and repair factors with sites of DNA strand lesions. The interaction of these factors with poly (ADP ...

A new technique known as ribose-seq has been developed and tested by researchers. It allows them to determine the full profile of ribonucleotides -- RNA fragments -- embedded in genomic DNA.
