DNA nanostructures are exciting new biomedical tools with myriad potential in treatment, diagnosis and disease prevention.

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

NASA astronaut Nick Hague runs an analysis with the miniPCR hardware for Genes in Space-6 during Expedition 59. This experiment explored how space radiation damages DNA and how cells repair that ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

First it was human embryos. Now scientists are trying to develop another way to modify human DNA that can be passed on to future generations, NPR has learned. Reproductive biologists at Weill Cornell ...

More than two months after the Artemis I launch, researchers are analyzing several scientific experiments that were on board. Some work is happening at the University of Colorado Boulder within the ...

Studying DNA repair is key to future space exploration, which could expose humans to risk of DNA damage caused by radiation. Studying DNA repair is key to future space exploration, which could expose ...

June Wang, a Weill Cornell Medicine lab technician, views a sample of human sperm. She's preparing to try to edit the DNA in the sample with a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. (Elias Williams for ...
