As we age, the genes in our cells accumulate more mutations. This is one of the contributory factors to age-related diseases ...

A common type of human papillomavirus (HPV) could be more dangerous than we thought. The virus, known as beta-HPV, was ...

The FDA's approval of the first CRISPR-Cas9–based gene therapy marked a major milestone in biomedicine, validating genome ...

DNA replication is a fundamental biological process that enables the accurate duplication of an organism’s genetic material. This intricate mechanism ensures that each new cell receives a complete set ...

Eventually, aging comes for us all — but new evidence suggests that in key ways, it may be a contagious condition. In a provocative new study published in the journal Metabolism, scientists from South ...

Mitochondrial mutations don't seem to build up in women's eggs as they age, which suggests they may have evolved a mechanism ...

LMO2 is an intrinsically disordered transcription factor activated in T cell leukaemia that is difficult to target. It forms part of a multiprotein complex that has bipartite DNA binding through ...

A virus gave a man an aggressive blood cancer. Philadelphia doctors want people to know about it. A Jefferson patient died from a cancer caused by HTLV-1, a little-known virus first discovered in 1979 ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they ...

Cancer, a genetic disease arising from DNA mutations, is influenced by lifestyle, environment, and heredity. Key risk factors ...

It’s no secret that stress isn’t good for you. But just how bad is it? Well, in the last few decades, scientists have linked psychological stress to changes in our DNA that look a lot like what ...

"Maintaining the egg's naturally quiet metabolism could be a better idea for preserving quality," said molecular biologist Elvan Böke.
