NIH-funded UT team and colleagues from Metagenomi Thereapeutics discovered highly efficient enzyme could enable targeted gene editing within the human body.

A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1, or BoDV-1, are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease the outcome is ...

Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...
