Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are single-stranded molecules that play an essential role in the cells of all living organisms. As "transcripts" of our genes, mRNAs, for example, are involved in the ...

The human genome is contained within the nucleus of cells. The genome is well protected, but many things can cause DNA damage, including aging, some drugs, and environmental factors like UV rays or ...

Scientists at the University of Birmingham and the Francis Crick Institute have discovered a new way in which cancer cells repair double-stranded breaks in DNA. The findings were published in a paper ...

The research team led by Research Professor Jaeyong Lee at the Institute for Cellular Differentiation and Aging, College of Medicine, Hallym ...

This summer, over 50 researchers in the NSF EMBRIO Institute convened to share their newest findings on cellular signaling and organization that drives wound repair, cellular defense, and organismal ...

Kidney fibrosis, a common endpoint of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is strongly linked to aging, with cellular senescence emerging as a key driver in its pathogenesis. This overview synthesizes ...

In specialized chambers throughout leading medical centers worldwide, patients breathe pure oxygen at pressures significantly higher than normal atmospheric conditions. This treatment, known as ...

Prime editing is an improved variant of the CRISPR/Cas system that can introduce alterations in DNA with exquisite precision. But the method is complex and inefficient. A research group has now been ...
