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

Researchers from Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) in Spain have identified an effective strategy to reduce structural liver damage and improve hepatic vascular function in cirrhosis. The ...

Medical scientist Eduardo Marbán – then at Johns Hopkins and now Cedars-Sinai – found that heart progenitor cells also have a special mechanism where they send out sacs, known as exosomes, which carry ...

Early-stage breast cancer patients face challenges with ctDNA detection, highlighting the need for clinical trials to improve outcomes and reduce recurrence risks. In an interview with Targeted ...

Scientists searching for novel ways to fight cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead tucked away inside the cells of the bowhead whale. The findings, published in the journal Nature, ...

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 ...

NUDT5 enzyme acts as a molecular scaffold that maintains metabolic balance. Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle or stop producing essential molecules.

What determines a cell’s identity isn’t the genes within but how they’re used. To read and interpret this genetic material, cells rely on transcription factors. These proteins bind to specific regions ...

Christopher McGinley will receive $5,000 for his research on brain repair following a stroke. A bright Howard student has received new funding to continue his research in brain repair. Christopher ...

"DNA sensor cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS) participates in regulating DNA double-strand break repair by suppressing the homologous recombination (HR) pathway, ...
