Low dose alnodesertib plus gemcitabine met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) versus gemcitabine alone in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancerStudy ...

Genetics tools have advanced significantly in recent decades, and have allowed scientist to sequence all of the genetic ...

A common type of error-correcting mechanism in biology is called kinetic proofreading. For example, if errors turn up when cells are making new DNA, enzymes can cut out incorrect nucleotides. They can ...

Researchers identified how the poxvirus protein VITF-3 forms a molecular ring that clamps onto DNA with viral RNA polymerase, bending it by 90 degrees to initiate gene copying.

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a unique viral mechanism: A molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...

Former England international Ben Foden advises teams against copying the Springboks’ successful strategies, emphasising the importance of embracing their unique DNA and playing to their strengths.

Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...

When an unidentified respiratory disease began circulating the world in early 2020, molecular biology researchers suddenly found that their work was the world’s top story. Efforts to identify the ...

Massive Swedish study of over two million people reveals that genetic risk for mental illness often points toward ...

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's helical structure. Franklin's meticulous analysis provided precise measurements ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza New research suggests that zinc does far more than support immunity, revealing intricate molecular switches that may influence how the heart responds to inflammatory injury.

The Research Article in Genomic Psychiatry titled "The specificity of genetic risk for psychiatric and substance use disorders: Its modification by age at onset, recurrence, and site of treatment," is ...
