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

Recently, the research team led by Prof. Junjiu Huang from Sun Yat-sen University, in collaboration with Prof. Fenghua Liu’s team at Guangdong Women and Children Hospital, published a study titled ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...

Researchers at USC have developed a yeast model to study a gene mutation that disrupts the duplication of DNA, causing massive damage to a cell's chromosomes, while somehow allowing the cell to ...

MIAMI, FLORIDA (AUG. 20, 2025) – A new study maps out the timeline of DNA damage for multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer. The findings may lead to better ways to group patients 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 ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the ...

Scientists say high-dose almond intake could help shield your cells from oxidative harm while enhancing your body’s natural defense systems, but the benefits depend on the dose and how the nuts are ...
