If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Whenever cells divide, there is a high risk of damage to the genetic material. After all, the cell has to duplicate its entire genetic material and copy billions of genetic letters before it divides.

A research team has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery deepens the understanding of a new type of ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...
