An experimental drug can reduce the toxic changes in tau proteins known to damage neurons in brains with Alzheimer’s disease, researchers report.

An international team of researchers has discovered that formaldehyde, a widely spread pollutant and common metabolite in our body, interferes in the epigenetic programming of the cell.

In a remarkable scientific achievement, an international team has successfully obtained the world's first high-resolution 3D image of the thick filament in its natural cellular environment.

High-resolution, time-lapsed images have shown how magnesium ions interact with the CRISPR-Cas9 enzyme while it cuts DNA, illustrating its role in chemical bond breakage and DNA cutting.

Imagine a skin cream that heals damage occurring throughout the day when your skin is exposed to sunlight or environmental toxins. That’s the potential of a synthetic, biomimetic melanin developed by scientists at Northwestern University.

Researchers have figured out how a specific metabolite controls the activity of DNA repair and how sensitive tissues are to cancer treatment.

A new study has shown that Gulf War Illness reduces the energy produced by white blood cells, creating a measurable biochemical difference in veterans with the disease.

Lab-grown algal symbionts designed to be heat-tolerant could enhance heat resistance in corals, helping them resist and recover faster from bleaching.

A hardware accelerator designed for AI has also been shown to speed up the alignment of protein and DNA for genome assembly, making the process 10 times faster than current methods.

Most cancers become deadly by keeping a low profile, causing no symptoms until they’re too advanced to treat. Researchers have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect a key protein produced by cancer cells.
