A team of researchers designs a ChatGPT that 'speaks in DNA', capable of creating new species that do not exist in nature and ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Researchers have discovered a tube-shaped structure that forms temporarily in a certain type of virus to deliver its DNA during the infection process and then dissolves after its job is completed. The ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human ...

The wholly synthetic mRNA vaccines for Covid-19 saved nearly 20 million lives in just their first year of use, according to data published in 2022 by The Lancet. That success stands as the most ...

It turns out that a gene called LTR5Hs activates a gene that affects the growth of an embryo and the proliferation of stem ...

Understanding the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells has important implications for cancer immunotherapies, ...

Once HIV infects a cell, the virus inserts its genetic information into the DNA, making the infection generally incurable.

A tiny, four-fingered "hand" folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to ...

Illinois researchers developed a nanorobotic hand made of DNA that can grab viruses for detection or inhibition. In this artist’s rendering, three “NanoGripper” hands wrap around a COVID-19 virus.

A common hallmark of viral genome replication is a high mutation rate, which can aid in their ability to evade new treatments and acquire resistance to once-effective antiviral medications. Now, a new ...
