To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

An international team has uncovered details about the formation of DNA's building blocks, paving the way for potential medical and therapeutic applications. Despite its fundamental role in biology, ...

The team, which included researchers from Stockholm University, CNRS-University of Toulouse, the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

Nanoscale “robots” made of DNA that rapidly self-replicate could be harnessed to manufacture drugs or other chemicals inside the body, say researchers. Tiny machines made of DNA origami may make ...
