DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Particle therapy, including proton and carbon ion radiotherapy, represents a major advancement in cancer treatment due to its ...

Amazon's historic 30,000-job slash: How tech giant's biggest layoff in three decades hits India ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells: mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny little genomes. This genetic material is separate from the rest of our genomic DNA ...

The precise biological process behind the increased risk of melanoma previously remained unclear, and the study found the use of indoor tanning beds led to a nearly threefold increase in melanoma risk ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

And it doesn't stop at heart tissue damage repair. “By enhancing DNA repair, we can heal tissue damage that occurs during a heart attack,” Ibrahim said. “We are particularly excited because TY1 also ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

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 ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...
