A study in the journal Nature explains how age reshapes the blood system. In both humans and mice, a few stem cells, or ...

To copy itself, however, LINE-1 must enter each cell's nucleus, the inner barrier that houses DNA. Now a new study, published online in the journal Science Advances, reveals that LINE-1 binds to ...

Zooming in on individual cells The body has various mechanisms to repair DNA, but the process can differ from cell to cell. This makes it important to study DNA repair in individual cells.

Each cell in a plant, animal, or person contains millions, or even billions, of DNA base pairs—molecules ... In order to chart human migration patterns, investigate animal domestication, and ...

What kinds of DNA can be used to profile a potential killer? DNA is present in every single cell in the body, and it can be deposited at a crime scene in a number of different ways, including ...

When treated with hydrogen peroxide and vitamin C, melanoma cells showed even more DNA damage and higher cell death rates, while normal cells were protected. Additionally, the study results found ...

As a graduate student in 2000, he spent six months trying to build a cell that could periodically alter a tiny bit of its own DNA. After six months of failure, he abandoned the project.

Loss-of-function variants in genes encoding tumor suppressor proteins, such as those that mediate DNA repair and cell-cycle checkpoints, can also contribute to an unstable genome. A gene that ...

A study explains how age reshapes the blood system. In both humans and mice, a few stem cells out-compete their neighbors and gradually take over blood production. The loss of diversity results in a ...
