It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Key PointsResearch on HIV's conical capsid that began over 25 years ago led to the development of lenacapavir, the world's ...

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Through a recent notice, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a conserved small RNA molecule that enables bacteriophages ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
