In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in ...

University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, ...

You likely know that you get half of your DNA from your mother and the other half from your father. It is this type of basic ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph ...

New research shows rapamycin’s powers go beyond slowing cell growth. It appears to shield DNA itself from damage. Since DNA ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that safeguards the chromosome ends from being mistakenly repaired ...

While scientists are amassing a fair amount of data regarding our gut microbiomes, the oral microbiome is a bit of a new ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

New preclinical findings highlight Telomir-1’s ability to reverse CDKN2A gene silencing by DNA methylation, reactivating this gene – often called the body’s natural “cell cycle brake.” These results ...
