Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build ...

The motors can sense chemical information in their environment, process that information, and then respond accordingly, mimicking some basic properties of living cells. "Previous DNA computers did not ...
