Never underestimate bacteria. Researchers have found they can keep one of the most essential features of life working even after death. The fact that bacteria keep making DNA when they should be ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have discovered that bacteria can continue producing DNA after they die. And they have found ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A molecular illustration of the crowded interior and cell envelope of Escherichia coli. (David S. Goodsell, The Scripps Research ...

Scientists have discovered how viruses help dead bacteria continue producing DNA, revealing a surprising process that could ...

The vascular smooth muscle cells that normally give blood vessel walls strength and flexibility proliferate and become destructive in pulmonary hypertension, a typically rapidly progressing condition ...

The hereditary molecule DNA can store a great deal of information over long periods of time in a very small space. For a good 10 years, scientists have therefore been pursuing the goal of developing ...

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug molecules. This breakthrough simplifies chiral drug production, reducing waste ...

Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale – recording from many neurons, reading many DNA ...

Scientists have found that inhibiting a gene essential to making DNA can significantly reduce the destructive cell proliferation and disease progression in pulmonary hypertension. The vascular smooth ...
