Nanowires offer innovative solutions in cancer diagnostics and therapy, enhancing drug delivery, biosensing, and imaging for ...

recently published in the peer-reviewed Nucleic Acids Research, explored how alternate-day fasting (ADF) “sensitizes” key genes and liver enhancers. It found that this metabolic “memory” is driven by ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study.

There are fashions in everything, including biochemistry, and nucleic acids went largely out of fashion or were swamped by the growth of our knowledge of proteins, oxidation mechanisms and the ...

Whenever you eat something, your body absorbs the things it needs, such as proteins and vitamins, and sends away the waste. One of those waste products is uric acid. It’s formed when your body ...

Nucleic acid-sensing by the RIG-I and cGAS pathways enables induction of cellular type-I interferon (IFN) immune responses to RNA and DNA viruses, respectively. This study identifies the RNA-binding ...

Thirteen proteins linked to brain aging in humans are identified in a Nature Aging paper. Changes in the concentrations of these blood proteins may peak at 57, 70, and 78 years old in humans ...

In the world of fitness and sports nutrition, it's common to hear about the importance of amino acids and proteins. Both are ...

To develop RNA medicines targeting a proprietary bundle of tumor antigens, Epitopea is tapping nucleic acid delivery specialist Genevant Sciences in a deal worth up to $123.5 million. Genevant can ...

Protein performs its functions by interacting with many other biological macromolecules including proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates. The abnormalities of these interactions often lead to ...

Proteins are required for the structure and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. They are made up of long chains of amino acids—at least 20 different types of amino acids, in fact. The exact ...
