Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. The team identified two enzymes that regulate a chemical modification, 6mA, in mitochondrial ...

A recent scientific study co-authored by an Estonian researcher Indrek Koppel (Tallinn University of Technology) showed how ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

Patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that LHON neurons, which typically exhibit impaired sodium and potassium currents, showed restored electrophysiological function after co-culture with MSCs.

In the not-so-far future it may be possible to run entire computer networks inside of living cells thanks to a recent breakthrough in molecular computing from scientists in the US. According to ...
