Nanostructures with improved stability for the development of more effective cancer nanomedicine
Most drugs used today have only one mechanism of action and it is both difficult and expensive to manufacture drugs with multiple functions. Researchers …
AF2Complex: Researchers leverage deep learning to predict physical interactions of protein complexes
Proteins are the molecular machinery that makes life possible, and researchers have long been interested in a key trait of protein function: their three-dimensional …
DNA discovery reveals a critical 'accordion effect' for switching off genes
Researchers have revealed how an 'accordion effect' is critical to switching off genes, in a study that transforms the fundamentals of what we know …
Complete human genome deciphered for the first time
Twenty years after scientists first reported reading the human genome, the Telomere-to-Telomere consortium has now unveiled a complete version. Their work uncovered hundreds of …
Researchers generate the first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome
Scientists have published the first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome, two decades after the Human Genome Project produced the first draft human …
First complete human genome poised to strengthen genetic analysis, study shows
Alongside the newly updated human genome, which fills in long-standing gaps to fully spell out the more than 3 billion letters that compose our …
Study shows that RNA can be targeted by small molecule drugs, creating new possibilities for disease treatment
Until now, proteins have been the target of most medications for the prevention and treatment of human disease. Drug developers have perceived RNA to …
Researchers expand target range of CRISPR/Cas Systems
Researchers have created a genome editing technology that allows for slight variations in target DNA but retains local specificity, and which could help realize …
Unprecedented videos show RNA switching ‘on’ and ‘off’
Using new simulations, researchers discovered one part of RNA smoothly invades and displaces another part of the same RNA, enabling the structure to rapidly …
Scientists determine structure of a DNA damage 'first responder'
The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works.
Cryo-EM reveals how '911' molecule helps fix damaged DNA
When something goes wrong during DNA replication, cells call their own version of 911 to pause the process and fix the problem -- a …
