It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the ...

Cancer’s most catastrophic DNA damage has long looked like a crime scene without a culprit, with chromosomes shattered and ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Through a recent notice, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has ...

A new study identifies an immune-inflammatory brain signature shared across major psychiatric disorders. Patients with this neuroimaging marker showed elevated blood inflammation and poorer response ...

Architects Jestico + Whiles were challenged to make the Cavendish Laboratory's science accessible to the public while meeting ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...
