Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

How does DNA structure itself from the very first moments of life? A team of researchers has just observed that DNA adopts a defined three-dimensional architecture much more rapidly than ...

A futuristic “DNA origami” vaccine platform may one day outperform mRNA shots while being easier to produce and distribute. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists have developed a new DNA origami–based ...

SWAT Environmental reports that radon, a harmful gas linked to lung cancer, can be mitigated by testing and using techniques like active soil depressurization.

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
