Some pathogens use temperature as a trigger and activate virulence only after entering the warmer environment of a host. A research team from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the University of ...

Pathogenic bacteria often delay the activation of their virulence program until they are inside the host. Researchers have ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA with accuracy across different types of protein, a ...

A study conducted in fruit flies by investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has linked a patient variant of ...

Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery ...

Cancer treatment has long been haunted by the same problem: how do you strike dangerous cells without hitting healthy ones ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The international ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...
