Researchers unveil append editing, a method that attaches chemical tags to DNA, expanding possibilities in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.

Alcohol doesn’t just damage the liver — it locks its cells in a strange “in-between” state that prevents them from healing.

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.

Alcohol damages the liver by disrupting RNA splicing, leaving cells stuck between functional and regenerative states. Targeting inflammation and restoring ESRP2 may provide new treatment options. Heav ...

Discover Quince Therapeutics’ breakthrough drug-delivery platform aiming to safely treat rare diseases with encapsulated steroids.

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...
