Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted protein engineering are enabling breakthroughs in the life sciences but also introduce new biosecurity challenges. Synthesis of nucleic acids is a ...

You know that exfoliating your face is the best shortcut to glowy skin, but the idea of slathering acid all over your face may not seem very appealing. Don’t let the term dissuade you, though: Acids ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

In short, AHAs work by exfoliating, and that process makes skin look instantly more refreshed. Though a scrub can also remove dead cells, chemically exfoliating with alpha hydroxy acid products can go ...

Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network (SBWCN) is currently caring for an increased number of seabirds showing signs of domoic acid poisoning, a naturally occurring toxin found in the ocean. The ...

Palmitic acid is a saturated long-chain fatty acid (LCFA), a term for fatty acids containing 13 to 21 carbons. Palmitic acid contains 16 carbons. This acid is found in most fats and oils, such as ...

A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living ...

When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to findings published in PLOS ONE by ...

Eli Lilly has opened a $700 million R&D center in the Boston Seaport, boosting its RNA and DNA research capabilities and expanding its biotech-hosting Gateway Labs to the East Coast for the first time ...

Abstract: Nucleic acid extraction is the first step in nucleic acid analysis. Currently, designing an efficient, robust, and automated nucleic acid extraction system has been a challenging topic.
