Scientists at NUS have found that DNA’s phosphate groups can guide chemical reactions like molecular “hands.” Chemists at the (NUS) have discovered an unexpected way to use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal, the bowhead whale, revealing a mechanism that could potentially prolong the human lifespan ...

Bigger animals such as whales and elephants, should have a higher risk of succumbing to cancer as they have more cells dividing over a longer period, leaving more room for mutations.

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.

A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve ...

At times, aging doesn’t become evident in wrinkles or in gray hair, it occurs deep inside your body, in cells that have ceased to divide but are still alive. These “zombie cells,” or senescent cells ...

Scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal - the bowhead whale. It can live for more than 200 years ...

HUMANS could live for centuries after scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal. The bowhead whale that can live for more than 200 years could hold the key to prolonging ...

The U.S. government is divesting from mRNA vaccines, but will other uses of the technology be spared? In a time of ...

New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...

Some scientists instead believe Dsup acts like a shield. In this model, Dsup coats and physically blocks radiation from striking DNA. Others think it boosts the cell’s repair machinery, fixing damage ...
