A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered how one of the most common ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein’s DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of ...

On his son’s fourth birthday, Michael Prescott had his first heart attack. Prescott, who worked as a civil engineer designing bridges in Tennessee, was in his 30s, and until that day, he had appeared ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that helps protect the brain function of animals that live in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments. This mutation has provided new insights into how ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

New Tapestri® assay measures both genotypic and transcriptional signals within individual cells, enabling researchers to map resistance, relapse, and lineage evolution across hematologic malignancies.

The secret to the naked mole-rats' extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers report. According to a new study, evolutionary mutations in cGAS – an ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...
