Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
