During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately predicting outcomes in meningioma brain tumors and breast cancers.

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides -- whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to ...

The new technology – Cleavage Under Targeted Accessible Chromatin (CUTAC) – focuses on small, fragmented DNA non-coding ...

Researchers at Fred Hutch and MD Anderson discovered RNA Polymerase II on histone genes as a biomarker for cancer ...

When cells express specific genes that characterise a certain type of cell we say that a cell has become differentiated. Structure and replication of DNA DNA is the molecule that holds the ...

ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic replication stress. However, a recent report published in EMBO Reports by Kurashima and team challenge ...

If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein. Actually, that's DNA's main purpose: to make ...

In order to increase the complexity of this human biomimetic model, we are integrating engineered platforms that incorporate mechanoinduction, immune and neuronal cells, and the microbiome. The Estes ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells.

Bringing all the components to make viruses in one place makes replication more efficient and also helps hide the virus from the immune system. In Zika-infected cells, ANKLE2 clusters in pockets ...
