Japanese Hayabusa2 mission collected dust from asteroid Ryugu, located 200 million miles away, revealing all five nucleobases that form the genetic code ...

In today’s rapidly evolving scientific landscape, eliminating barriers to progress is more critical than ever. Precision medicine and targeted therapies hold great promise but are dependent on the ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory functions across different cellular processes. This makes them an interesting ...

Irvine, Calif., Feb. 9, 2026 — From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

NUDT5 enzyme acts as a molecular scaffold that maintains metabolic balance. Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle or stop producing essential molecules.
