Scientists have made a major breakthrough in chemical synthesis that now makes it possible to quickly and reliably modify the 3D structure of molecules used in drug discovery. The new method allows ...

A new study has revealed for the first time the molecular structure of brains affected by Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have produced 3D models of proteins in the brain, including two proteins in ...

Gene activity has to be carefully controlled by cells so that they maintain their identity and continue to carry out their proper functions, and there are many different ways that gene expression can ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Scientists have helped produce a brand-new, three-dimensional survey of our galaxy, allowing them to peer into the inner structure and observe its star-forming processes in unprecedented detail.

Although every cell in the body contains the same genetic sequence, only a subset of genes is expressed in each cell. This ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools ...
