A new study shows that a short pulse of heat can reset and recharge these DNA circuits, letting them work again with little ...

Kenneth J. Breslauer, whose work helped lay the foundation for many of today’s major advances in genetics and precision ...

From Alzheimer’s to heart failure, many chronic diseases have been linked to damage in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Now, scientists at the University of California, Riverside, may have found a way to ...

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

The mutations that give rise to melanoma result from a chemical conversion in DNA fueled by sunlight and not just a DNA copying error as previously believed ...

One way cells can control the activities of their genes is by adding small chemical modifications to the DNA that determine which genes are turned on or off. Methyl groups are one of these chemical ...

The developed probe exclusively reacts with mitochondrial DNA repair intermediates and modulates the DNA repair and degradation processes, reducing mitochondrial DNA loss. When environmental stress ...

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now. Using what they describe as a 'chemical ...

Let me extend my deepest thanks to the American Chemical Society. It is a very special honor to be included among the Priestley Medalists, many of whom are my teachers and scientific heroes. I am ...

Scientists found that childhood trauma can change DNA and brain development, leaving long-term biological marks.
