The same cellular renewal that keeps our bodies healthy might also fuel the growth of cancer. A UC Merced biologist has found that the brain could hold the key to stopping it.

Tumors were eradicated in 30% of mice receiving cGAS LNPs injected into the tumor, in combination with immune checkpoint blockade.

"These RNAs seem to act like postal codes for gene repression," said Dr. Anuj K. Verma, lead author of the study. "They help direct the polycomb complex to precise chromatin neighborhoods where stress ...

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

Cavefish exhibit resilience to chronic sleep loss and tolerate elevated DNA damage and reduced DNA repair responses without compromising healthspan or longevity.

The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we ...

A team of scientists is employing a technique used to detect invasive species to search for troops lost at sea.

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change ...
