Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.

A modular metamaterial mimics DNA geometry to combine twist compression, tunable stiffness, fast recovery, and reusable shock ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new way to fine-tune genetic material. Their study, published in Nature ...

Yes, cancer is fundamentally a genetic disease, but not only a hereditary one. Most cancers arise from mutations acquired ...

A new lab study exploited a unique aspect of metabolism in glioblastoma to boost the effectiveness of chemoradiation, turning ...

When asked if cancer is a genetic disease, the answer is nuanced. Cancer is indeed driven by genetic changes in cells, but the vast majority of these changes are acquired, not inherited. Only a small ...

Epigenetics, a relatively underappreciated field by those unfamiliar with its significance, holds profound implications for our overall health and well-being. Simply put, epigenetics explores how ...

In a twist worthy of molecular drama, scientists at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered a surprising new role for a ...

Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.
