A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has made an advance in understanding the molecular machinery of RNA silencing. The team uncovered how the human enzyme ...

An international research team has placed quantum light emitters onto silicon chips with roughly 90% success by using tiny triangles made of folded DNA, a result that exceeds the efficiency ceiling ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve calcification increases leaflet stiffness and contributes to the development of calcific aortic valve disease. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying calcification ...

In this interview, Professor Anne Willis discusses her research on posttranscriptional control of gene expression and shares insights into the challenges faced by women in STEMM and highlights her ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The international ...

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

Ionizing radiation inflicts lethal double-strand DNA breaks and oxidative stress that underlie acute radiation syndrome, secondary malignancies, and dose-limiting toxicity in radiotherapy; yet the ...
