A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The ...

Scientists have reconstructed the genomes of microbes from the Stone Age, and used them to produce new molecules. The complex puzzle was pieced together from DNA fragments of bacteria on the teeth of ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

“The elements are like the alphabet of life. The language of life is created from the right combination of letters or characters.” This is how chemistry professor Chris Chang sees chemical biology, as ...

Most biological molecules are chiral entities where their mirror images have different structures and functional characteristics. Scientists have begun synthesizing left-handed DNA and RNA and ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

Google DeepMind has unexpectedly released the source code and model weights of AlphaFold 3 for academic use, marking a significant advance that could accelerate scientific discovery and drug ...
