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

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

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

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...

DNA is the blueprint for life, influencing everything about us—including our health. We know that our genes, the genetic “words” that encode proteins, play a major role in health and disease. But the ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...
