Cigarette smoke causes cancer primarily by damaging the DNA. A new study that mapped these damages has revealed that the way ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

In summary, enalapril significantly mitigated multiple pathological markers associated with aging, including lipid droplets, amyloid, glycogen deposition, and fibrosis, in the brain, kidneys, liver, ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...

Cancer cells alter the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), in turn causing mutations. Analysing this mechanism is a new breakthrough in the cancer research and treatment.

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) on January 3, 2025, in Volume 17, Issue 1, titled "Characterization of DNA methylation clock algorithms applied to diverse tissue types." ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare hereditary disease that is associated with progressive muscle wasting. The ...
