A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

A DNA nano-harvester stays on its track inside tumor cells, measuring cancer aggressiveness by detecting a key microRNA ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

An autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, called autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT), is the most common autoimmune ...

The principle behind cancer-spotting blood tests is relatively simple. Some, like Galleri, analyse DNA fragments shed by ...

Resistant cells demonstrated global decreases in DNA accessibility with localized opening at resistance-driving loci, ...
