DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

Researchers from the HUN-REN Szeged Biological Research Centre and HCEMM have just published a new study suggesting that it's ...

Once failed in high school chemistry due to a teacher’s judgement, Tomas Lindahl later reshaped the same discipline. Awarded ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Scientists in Sweden and Norway have uncovered a promising way to spot Parkinson’s disease years—possibly decades—before its most damaging symptoms appear. By detecting subtle biological signals in ...

February marks Cancer Prevention Month. Research shows lifestyle change and early detection can make a big difference in ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a new study suggests that blocking a key protein, p300, may force damaged ...
