Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This ...

A 'ground-breaking' study on so-called 'junk DNA' has potentially unlocked new insights into neurological disorders and ageing, as well as cancer and other diseases. The experimental study, led by the ...

Gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR, can cause unintended alterations in the genome which may be potentially dangerous. A multidisciplinary team of scientists led by Britt Adamson at Princeton ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...

A researcher has made a discovery that alters our understanding of how the body's DNA repair process works and may lead to new chemotherapy treatments for cancer and other disorders. Researchers ...

Tampa (BLOOM) – Understanding the intricate process of aging has been a subject of fascination for scientists and researchers. While aging is a natural part of life, recent studies have shed light on ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by ...

Lead authors Marlon Goering, Ph.D., and Sylvie Mrug, Ph.D., from the Department of Psychology in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences, say two risk factors for early puberty parents can monitor are a ...
