Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have developed a technique that could lead to cheaper, reusable ...

Caltech scientists have developed DNA origami-based sensors for rapid protein detection in bodily fluids, paving the way for ...

A new study in Nature identifies a long-sought cytoplasmic 'sensor' that is responsible, at least in part, for interferon responses induced by double-stranded DNA. How do cells detect non-self ...

12 In particular, Chen was elated to find that DNA activated cGAS in a way that was independent of DNA sequence. “It allows this single sensor protein to detect a large variety of pathogens, as long ...

A product of multi-disciplinary Northwestern Engineering research, the cantilever-based test detects harmful chemicals in ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Proteins interact with DNA to regulate many vital processes in cells. Nearly 40 years ago, researchers developed a way to map these molecular connections. Mariella is an assistant editor at The ...
