Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients. Their ...

Examining the tiny world of proteins is tricky, but researchers at the Université de Montréal have developed a new tool that can let scientists peer closer, aiding study of disease and drug ...

New Rochelle, NY, May 30, 2014—High throughput screening of compounds in live cells is a powerful approach for discovering new drugs, but the potential for cell toxicity must be considered. A novel ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Despite being a routine laboratory activity, the quantification of DNA is crucial for subsequent applications like next generation sequencing (NGS). Here the FLUOstar ® Omega microplate reader is used ...

Scientists have discovered a new DNA structure that is inside human cells and have dubbed the structure "i-motif." I-motif resembles a twisted knot of DNA rather than the double helix were all learned ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, Nanjing University of China, ...

In this study, an assembly of stimulus-sensitive gel particles with DNA–dye complexes was investigated for application in optical-sensing devices. This composite material of stimulus-sensitive gels ...

Swapping out specific chemical building blocks in fluorescent molecules called rhodamines can generate nearly any color scientists desire - ROYGBIV and beyond, researchers report in the journal Nature ...
