Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

Nguyen and her team solved this by designing a version of their molecule that remains liquid at room temperature. It requires ...

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another ...
