Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a retrotransposon has been found borrowing the cell's own machinery to achieve its goals. In a new work appearing online Wednesday in ...

Artios Pharma, which looking for newer targets that, like PARP inhibitors, affect the way tumors fix themselves, said its ...

Over the course of evolution, the human heart has largely lost its ability to regenerate. Our distant ancestors were not ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

Many of us are resigned to the fact that we’ll naturally lose some of our hearing as we age, but there may be a way to slow that down. Scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA) have identified a ...

Cells are able to remember that DNA damage has occurred as they pass through the process of cell division, a new study reveals. Researchers found that a protein called p21 acts as a signal of DNA ...

An elaborate system of filaments, liquid droplet dynamics and protein connectors enables the repair of some damaged DNA in the nuclei of cells, researchers have found. The findings further challenge ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have ...

Scientists from Germany's Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP have developed a new process aimed at lowering the series resistance of monocrystalline PERC solar cells. The new technique ...
