A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

Hidden in volcanic lakes and deep-sea vents, scientists have discovered tough new DNA-binding proteins built to survive extreme conditions. After scanning huge genetic databases, researchers found ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA with accuracy across different types of protein, a ...

With aging populations on the rise, the need for better tools to diagnose and monitor Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most ...

With aging populations on the rise, the need for better tools to diagnose and monitor Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, has never been more urgent. This disease is ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

Professor of Pathology, Lee J. Martin, discusses the prevalence and treatment challenges associated with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) ...
