Most of the cells in our body carry the genome, and those cells are constantly bombarded with environmental influences including UV rays, pollution, alcohol, and other exposures that can damage the ...
Researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg identified a new mechanism in the DNA damage response involving the long non-coding RNA NEAT1. Increased NEAT1 levels and methylation enhance ...
Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...
RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...
Many people lather up with sunscreen or cover up with hats to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays. These added layers help to shield the skin from ultraviolet (UV) light, which damages DNA ...

Hidden mitochondrial DNA damage type uncovered by researchers
Mitochondrial DNA has long been treated as a workhorse record of cellular history, but new research suggests it also hides a subtle and previously overlooked form of damage. By uncovering this cryptic ...
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 ...
