DNA損傷応答（DDR）はゲノムの恒常性維持において非常に重要な役割を担っている。 DNA損傷やDDR活性化が心不全を起こした心臓で観察されることは報告されているが、どのような種類のDNA損傷が起こっており、心不全の発症機序にどのような役割を果たして ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Plectonemes are the analog of the twisted tangles of telephone cords, and can form in DNA that is pulled through a nanoscale channel. They are called plectonemes. They are the analog of the twisted ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
