Stabilizing chromosomes to tackle tumors
Cells use RNA as a versatile tool to regulate the activity of their genes. Small snippets of RNA can fine-tune how much protein is produced from various genes; some small RNAs can shut genes off altogether. An enzyme called Dicer chops RNA into small.....»»
France vows cash for urban vegetation as heatwave hits

Google, Facebook, Twitter to tackle deepfakes or risk EU fines
Alphabet Inc unit Google (GOOGL), Facebook Inc (META), Twitter Inc (TWTR) and other tech companies will have to take measures to counter deepfakes and fake accounts on their platforms or risk hefty fines under an updated European Union code of practi.....»»
Bacterial intimacy insights could help tackle antimicrobial resistance
One of the primary ways harmful bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics is by receiving DNA from other bacteria that are already resistant. This DNA exchange is made via a process called conjugation, akin to bacterial sex, whereby two bacteria for.....»»
New research reveals unexpected function for basic DNA-based processes during chromosome folding
New findings reveal an advanced, unexpected two-way communication between the function and organization of chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Previous research shows that the organization of chromosomal DNA into loops regulate gene reading (transcripti.....»»

Scientists Use Nanoparticles To Break Through Shield That Brain Tumors Use To Avoid Detection By the Immune System
Scientists from the University of Michigan have "fabricated a nanoparticle to deliver an inhibitor to brain tumor in mouse models, where the drug successfully turned on the immune system to eliminate the cancer," reports ScienceDaily. "The process al.....»»
Linker histone"s surprising partnership with single-stranded DNA
To keep order in the tight quarters of the cell nucleus, our DNA is neatly clamped in place around a central disk by H1 linker histone, which helps shepherd DNA into the tidy chromatin fibers that comprise chromosomes. Linker histone, however, is far.....»»
Researchers unravel role of cohesins in embryonic stem cell division
Chromosomes undergo precise structural changes at a molecular level during the different phases of cell division. These changes occur at a high level of accuracy to prevent genome instability. Genome instability resulting from broken, missing, or rea.....»»
