A new CRISPR-free tool brings gene editing power to cells' second, smaller genome—the one in their mitochondria

Researchers say their device could mimic any cell type—bacterial, human, or even the tough cell walls of plants

Scientists examine the impact of a very specific defect in DNA replication, one that has important implications for cancer treatment

Bacteria cells are so teeny tiny that it has been very difficult to analyze just one bacterial cell, or bacterium, at a time

Researchers have developed a variety of imaging methods that allow them to observe receptors in real time

Researchers from Japan demonstrate that a biosurfactant from yeast can dissolve stubborn biofilms and enhance the efficacy of chemical cleaning products

Scientists have determined how a protein called XPG binds to and reshapes damaged DNA, illuminating its role in averting genetic disease and cancer

Rice University researchers model how cells handle invaders, ignore imposters

Scientists have developed a technology to print tissues directly in the human body

Cell wall extracts from immune active plants could be used by agriculture companies to develop sustainable treatments that help crops protect against pathogens and pests
