DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may also hide a critical, underappreciated source of disease. Scientists are ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with international institutions, has uncovered a key mechanism in how DNA behaves as it passes through nanoscale pores—a ...

What determines a cell’s identity isn’t the genes within but how they’re used. To read and interpret this genetic material, cells rely on transcription factors. These proteins bind to specific regions ...
