DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have discovered how mammalian cells prevent the gradual buildup of harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA, the small but vital genome that powers every cell. The ...

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 ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

CS-101 is Shanghai-based CorrectSequence's lead candidate, which it is developing for treating sickle-cell disease and ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
