When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage ...
New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...
Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...
The composition and sequence of 3 billion bases of DNA serve as a major determinant of our individual physiology. Unfortunately, our DNA is constantly being challenged by agents that arise from either ...
Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...
Results from a VHIO-led study show that MYC targeting by Omomyc induces tumor DNA damage in patient-derived preclinical ...
A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.
The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...
Tackling a common childhood virus could open the door to preventing bladder cancer, according to new research.
