Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...
A new microfluidic chip simplifies detecting and quantifying DNA by analyzing electrical impedance signals that vary based on DNA flowing across a biosensor inside the chip. The proof-of-concept ...
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...
The microbial toxin colibactin has just the right shape to snuggle up to DNA — but its embrace is unfortunately more cancerous than cozy. Colibactin is produced by bacteria in the gut and causes ...
The root causes of most forms of Alzheimer's disease largely remain a mystery. Now, researchers have revealed a new piece of the puzzle. Neurogeneticists at the University of Florida led by Lien ...
A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...
