The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...

Study establishes for the first time that defective DNA repair may be the major driver of several clinical features associated with a subset of patients with 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune defenses primed. Now researchers have identified a previously unknown form of ...

Macquarie University researchers have discovered a naturally occurring protein found in human cells plays a powerful role in repairing damaged DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic instructions ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...

I've been lurking and dipping in and out of this thread, and have a scattered assortment of thoughts and somewhat-relevant expertise that I've finally decided to express in words. My bona fides: I've ...
