Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...
Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA ...
DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor ...
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 ...
The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...
Senescent cells refuse to die. They stop dividing, resist the body’s normal cleanup signals, and leak a cocktail of ...
Scientists at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Hong Kong have created a mouse with substituted genes from a single-celled organism known as a choanoflagellate. Scientists replaced ...
As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines are less effective. New research carried out by Dr. Loren Kell at NDORMS ...
Long-distance gene control first emerged around 650 to 700 million years ago, significantly earlier than scientists had ...
