Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

City St. George’s researchers identified 9 genetic signatures and epigenetic changes driving lapatinib resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. Cancer scientists from City St George’s, University of ...

The idea of self-amplifying gene editing is to get cells to pass on packages of CRISPR machinery to their neighbours, boosting the effect ...

In fact, we observed that if we express this transporter on the surface of healthy cells, those cells stop proliferating in the presence of D-Cys.” ...

Scientists have identified a mirror-image form of the amino acid cysteine that selectively slows the growth of certain ...

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...

Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development ...

This loss, evident in almost half of older men, is associated with serious diseases throughout the body and a shorter ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...

The test could serve as an alternative in cervical cancer screening, cytology, according to a new study. Certain types of ...
