Researchers achieved a new development in their studies in this new publication focusing on nano-sized robots that came from a DNA's design, now concentrate on doing wonders for biological ...

DNA molecules have been shown to be excellent substrates for the design and construction of mechanical molecular devices that sense, actuate and exert functions when exposed to external signals 1. DNA ...

When the cells inside your body lay down new tracks of DNA, they work hard not to deviate from the original blueprint—too many mistakes could lead to cancer or other diseases. Biologists synthesizing ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

Supercoiling and looping can transmit mechanical stress along the DNA backbone that can promote the separation of the strands of the double helix at specific distant sites, exposing the DNA bases, ...

Neurons are the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system, regulating both vital functions and higher functions. Among the very few cells in the body that do not regenerate, these cells ...

With Rapid DNA machines, genetic fingerprinting could become as routine as the old-fashioned kind. But forensic experts see a potential for misuse. By Heather Murphy BENSALEM, Pa. — They call it the ...
