Using an inexpensive electrode coated with DNA, MIT researchers have designed disposable diagnostics that could be adapted to detect a variety of diseases, including cancer or infectious diseases such ...

CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new generation of high-performance DNA aptamers and highly accurate drug sensors for cocaine and other opioids. The sensors are ...

A tiny vibrating cantilever sensor could soon help doctors and field clinicians quickly detect harmful toxins, bacteria and even indicators of certain types of cancer from small samples of blood or ...

The 2024 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research is awarded to Zhijian (James) Chen for his landmark discoveries that explain how DNA stimulates immune responses. DNA is best known as genetic ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

This footage shows the fluorescent sensors in action inside a living cell. They appear as bright green spots the moment they bind to sites of DNA damage. Cancer research, drug safety testing and ...

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life's most serious crises unfold in real time. Inside every cell, DNA breaks, repairs, and sometimes ...

DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is attached to the cytosine base of the DNA molecule, and is a major way that DNA is epigenetically marked. Epigenetic modifications can act as ...
