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 ...
Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...
All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...
Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...
Researchers have used artificial intelligence to design thousands of new DNA switches that can precisely control the expression of a gene in different cell types. Their new approach opens the ...
New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...
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.
