A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that TDP43 controls a key DNA repair process, but when the protein becomes imbalanced, the repair system can spiral out of control, harming neurons and destabilizing DNA. The team also discovered that high levels of the protein are linked to increased mutation rates in cancer. The discovery places TDP43 at... Read more ›

Hidden in volcanic lakes and deep-sea vents, scientists have discovered tough new DNA-binding proteins built to survive extreme conditions. After scanning huge genetic databases, researchers found molecules that remain stable under heat, salt, and harsh chemistry. One of these proteins significantly improved rapid LAMP diagnostic tests, making them faster and more sensitive. The discovery could help create better tools for detecting infectious diseases.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and partially break apart to bind key DNA sequences that activate division genes. Using cryo-electron microscopy, scientists captured this interaction in remarkable detail. The mechanism appears to be widespread across bacteria, offering a new window into how microbes regulate growth. Read more ›
