Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle, or stop producing essential molecules.

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...
