For decades, baldness treatments have inched forward with incremental gains and frustrating side effects. Now a simple gel built around a DNA sugar is producing such dramatic regrowth in animals that ...

Scientists at Rice University have unveiled a breakthrough technique that could fundamentally change how DNA is designed for ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Nick Edwards, PhD, CEO of Potato, has a “burning desire” to speed up scientific discovery. In an interview with GEN, he explained how Potato’s AI “scientist,” named Tater, recently replicated a main ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Link found between super-agers, or people with exceptional longevity, to inherited DNA from Ice Age hunter-gatherer ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops, and how you respond to disease. Department of Labor under fire for language similar to ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing an overlooked mechanism with major implications.
