The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight. Working on the ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune defenses primed. Now researchers have identified a previously unknown form of ...

Some people actually have more than one biological identity embedded in their bodies, a rare and often harmless biological ...
