Nucleic acids are polymers of acidic monomeric subunits known as nucleotides, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute. In simpler terms, nucleic acids are what make up DNA ...

Nucleic acids are essential for the functioning and development of living organisms. DNA carries genetic information that determines traits such as eye color and susceptibility to diseases in humans, ...

Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...

The intracellular environment is highly compartmentalized; biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and so on) are spatiotemporally organized to form functional modules, signal pathways and ...

The flow of genetic information underpins all of biology and relies heavily on nucleic acids. Our research delves into how genetic information is maintained in the cell, and the complex pathways that ...

Some biologists have long hoped that small pieces of RNA that silence genes could help wipe out genetic diseases. But developing nucleic acid medications with good drug properties, such as selectivity ...

Currently, chemotherapy is still the main clinical treatment strategy for cancer. Although it has produced significant effects, chemotherapy also has a destructive effect on normal tissues and cells, ...

Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) can be used as potent drugs to effectively train the immune system to fight disease, by either boosting or dampening the immune response. By increasing the immune ...

This guide on troubleshooting will enable users to get reliable results when quantifying nucleic acids through various devices available in the Eppendorf photometer series (Figure 1). Therefore, the ...

Whether one is elucidating biological mechanisms, correcting a faulty gene, or modulating gene expression, artificially introducing nucleic acids into cells requires an efficient and nontoxic delivery ...
