The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...

Human DNA isn't actually entirely human. Strangely, a lot of our genetic material came from unwanted guests hitching rides in ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

Serif Biomedicines has emerged from stealth mode to continue developing “modified DNA,” a new class of therapeutics designed ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of DNA origami. The system they developed may ...
