The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique ...

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...

New research on fern vascular systems reveals how developmental constraints don't just limit evolution—they generate new ...

Tissue expansion, originally developed for super-resolution imaging, has become a foundation for expansion omics (ExO), a ...

Correcting misinformation after it has gone viral is a common way of informing the public that what they’ve encountered may ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than ...

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

As 2025 winds down, HD research is more active, more interdisciplinary, and more globally connected than ever. Whether it’s genetic modifiers, new drug targets, or next-generation clinical trials, ...

DNA scaffolds that mirror influenza virus protein geometry boost antiviral binding and reduce infection more effectively than free molecules, enabling a modular antiviral design strategy.

In five years since AlphaFold's debut, it has transformed basic biochemical research. But its long-term effect on drug ...
