An international collaboration steered by David Cortez, Richard N. Armstrong, Ph.D. Chair for Innovation in Biochemistry, explored how cells tolerate DNA damage and genome instability—and they arrived ...
A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
DNA replication is a tightly controlled process that copies the genetic code, allowing its instructions to be conveyed from one generation of cells to the next. In diseases like cancer, these ...
At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy roughly three billion letters of DNA with near-perfect fidelity. That copying process, DNA replication, is among the most demanding operations a cell performs, ...
It has been discovered that there are multiple types of DNA sites prone to breakage, beyond those previously known. This was announced by RIKEN, Kobe University, and JST. By examining cells one by one ...
In prokaryotic cells, transcription (DNA to mRNA) and translation (mRNA to protein) are so closely linked that translation usually begins before transcription is complete. In eukaryotic cells, however ...
Cell division, a process fundamental to life, still holds surprises. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the ...
A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...
King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 Reviewed For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...
We created a drug candidate, CRMA-1001, that silences the hepatitis B virus using methylation tags without cutting its DNA.
