Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

A research group led by Drs. Shusuke Tada and Takashi Tsuyama at the Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10 ...

Improved treatment for rare and aggressive “ALT cancers” that claim the lives of 5000 to 7000 Australians each year is the ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are ...

Scientists discovered that the protein RPA plays a critical and previously unconfirmed role in stimulating telomerase to maintain long, healthy telomeres. When RPA malfunctions, telomeres can shorten ...

One ocean-dwelling creature found in many tropic waters is known to be able to reserve its own life cycle, cheating death.
