Scientists discover QT45, a self-replicating RNA molecule, offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.

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.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Nguyen and her team solved this by designing a version of their molecule that remains liquid at room temperature. It requires ...

Karthik Sankaranarayanan trained in two quite different scientific subfields as a graduate student and as a postdoctoral ...

Scientists at Rice University have produced the first full, dye-free molecular atlas of an Alzheimer’s brain. By combining ...

While lifesaving vaccines face a relentless onslaught from the Trump administration—with fervent anti-vaccine advocate Robert ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...
