The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily. So for ...

Scientists are turning DNA into tiny robots that can move, sense, and deliver drugs, pushing nanotechnology closer to ...

Researchers have built DNA-based nanodevices that can identify cancer cells, latch onto them, and deliver drugs or ...

DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

A new single-molecule flow-stretch assay enables real-time observation of DNA-protein interactions to identify the molecular ...

On Monday, a paper announcing that all four DNA bases had been found on an asteroid sparked a lot of headlines. But many of ...

Studying endangered animal species without disturbing them and disrupting their natural habitat could be highly advantageous, ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
