Hidden in volcanic lakes and deep-sea vents, scientists have discovered tough new DNA-binding proteins built to survive ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Dps proteins (DNA-binding proteins from starved cells) are vital components in the defence strategies of bacteria facing environmental stress. These proteins not only bind and compact chromosomal DNA, ...

The Iñupiat people of Alaska have long said that bowhead whales live two human lifetimes. That oral knowledge turned out to ...

A protein, TDP43, previously linked to dementia and ALS, has been found to control DNA repair. Researchers say abnormal ...

Scientists discover ALS protein that links DNA repair to cancer and dementia: Study ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also plays a role in regulating DNA ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification crucial to normal development, with its dysregulation leading to various diseases including cancer. As interest in epigenomics grows, an innovative ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...
