A computational study has replaced the carbon in cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine and deoxyribose with nitrogen and boron to understand what carbonless DNA might be like. The study generated a set ...

The discovery began with research on deoxyribose, a sugar critical to DNA structure. While studying its role in wound healing, researchers at the University of Sheffield and COMSATS University ...

Applying deoxyribose sugar to wounds led to rapid fur regrowth, prompting further investigation. Tests on mice with testosterone-driven hair loss showed the sugar gel was as effective as minoxidil ...
