In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea of mitochondria being little batteries with a built-in charger, about as ...

A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that kills nerve cells in the brain, causing people to lose their cognitive and ...

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate ... Two papers offer a first glimpse at complexes of the helicase-like domain of DNA polymerase θ (Polθ-HD) bound to DNA.
