Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

New research from a team of genome scientists and DNA damage response experts breaks new ground in understanding the function of a protein currently limited in clinical trials for cancer treatments.

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Scientists have discovered “barcodes” embedded in DNA that shed light on how the blood ages. It is hoped the discovery could help prevent illnesses such as blood cancer or heart disease before ...

Mouse blood-forming stem cells cultured at day 12. At this point, stemness is maintained thanks to the media condition. This allows to study hematopoietic stem cells biology at very early stages and ...
