DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

For almost two decades, scientists have debated whether sponges or comb jellies are the first animal lineage. Now some are ...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies, or bnAbs, are a long‑standing goal of HIV vaccine research because they can disable many strains of the virus at once.

Researchers say the deep learning model may help to create leads for new cancer diagnostics, patient stratification, and future therapies.

A longstanding goal of immunotherapies and vaccine research is to induce antibodies in humans that neutralize deadly viruses such as ...

In biology, many RNA molecules act as sophisticated microscopic machines. Among them, riboswitches function as tiny biological sensors, changing their 3D shape upon binding to a specific metabolite.

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic ...

Higher melatonin intake from everyday foods correlated with reduced obesity and depression, with intermediate intake levels ...

Researchers developed a DNA-scaffolded vaccine that achieves the first step in generating a significant population of B cells that produce broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV.
