When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

Researchers found that DNA's shape matters. When its loops break, cancer can start.Based on a new concept of architectural tumor ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

Cancer involves more than just genetic mutations; it also involves structural failures. Consider a city where roads disappear, isolating communities from vital resources.

Indian scientists have tested shape-changing wings that bend like a bird’s, making future fighter jets faster, stealthier and ...

EMBARGOED: A new study to be presented Dec. 6 at the 2025 American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting reveals that even subtle disruptions in genome architecture can predispose individuals to ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
