The human brain is one of the most complex parts of the body. It controls how we think, feel, remember, and behave.

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA – its genome – and segregate it equally ...

Scientists fuse synthetic DNA with semiconductors to create ultra-efficient memory ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...
