DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Study establishes for the first time that defective DNA repair may be the major driver of several clinical features associated with a subset of patients with 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

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 ...

The FDA has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to LP-284, a next-generation acylfulvene small molecule, for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas (STS). This is the third orphan designation for ...

There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...
