Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

An INRS research team has identified a new family of enzymes that can make precise cuts in single-stranded DNA. A few years ...

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

Latest study leverages new constructs for nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences to improve editing efficiency in human immune cells.

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a ...

In pulmonary hypertension, a combination of metabolic and mechanical dysfunction leads to irreversible vascular damage.

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But ...

The new pups have been observed to develop features consistent with known dire wolf fossils. Thick white coats, larger teeth and body structure have been reported. These results came from identifying ...

The method, called "Perturb-multiome," uses CRISPR to knock out the function of individual transcription factors across many blood cells at once. The researchers then perform single-cell analyses ...

Scientists are now looking to bacteriophage — viruses that infect bacteria — and their potential to treat drug-resistant ...
