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 ...

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

Dr. Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, MS, FASCO, is lead author of a paper in European Urology reporting on an analysis of specimens from the SWOG S1314 trial in localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer that ...

Validation of a 15-Gene Prognostic Signature in Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

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 ...

A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

The stray dogs that roam the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have become unlikely protagonists in a scientific debate about how life ...
