Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
