Children living in war-torn countries not only suffer from poor mental health outcomes, but war may cause adverse biological changes at the DNA level, which could have lifelong health impacts, ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

An HIV-derived nucleoside therapy now treats rare genetic diseases by restoring mitochondrial DNA and improving muscle ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Junk DNA may not be so useless after all. Scientists coined the term to describe the genetic wasteland within the human genome that consists of long stretches of DNA for which there was no known ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.

In the journal Angewandte Chemie ("DNA Origami Vesicle Sensors with Triggered Single-Molecule Cargo Transfer"), the researchers report on their development of a novel DNA-origami-based sensor that can ...
