What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain features and provides a road map to discover many more. The research could lead ...

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after infection, according to a new study that may help tackle the pathogen.

Enzymes are involved in virtually every biological process that occurs throughout the body. This includes but is not limited to the following essential roles: ...

T cells are the immune system’s frontline fighters. When they detect danger, they rapidly multiply and transform into effector cells that destroy pathogens. This transformation demands an intense ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for all life to grow and reproduce. For the first time, scientists have directly ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a study published in Nature Communications.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study.

Researchers have discovered that the protein USP50 regulates DNA replication by managing which enzymes—nucleases or helicases—cleave or unwind DNA strands during replication.
