A person who develops age-related diseases earlier in life, or has other biological changes associated with aging (such as ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...

This important study uses innovative microfluidics-based single-cell imaging to monitor replicative lifespan, protein localization, and intracellular iron levels in aging yeast cells. The evidence for ...

KDM5 inhibition/disruption selectively induces R-loop-mediated DNA damage and innate immune activation in breast cancer cells, while sparing normal cells, unveiling a tumor-specific therapeutic ...

Researchers are investigating how plants use “natural genetic engineering” to borrow genes from other species and adapt more ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by ...

It turns out that a gene called LTR5Hs activates a gene that affects the growth of an embryo and the proliferation of stem ...

Conjugation is mediated by a large molecular machinery termed Type IV secretion system (T4SS), embedded within the donor cell ...
