As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

“Our discoveries provide crucial insights into how cancer cells can resist clinical treatments based on radio/chemotherapy-induced DNA damage.” The mystery of how cancers build up resistance ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...

A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ...

The mystery of how cancers build up resistance mechanisms and evade the treatments that should have destroyed them is a hugely pressing question. Overcoming cancer treatment resistance—a phenomenon ...
