Using bacterial retrons, this method can "reno" multiple dangerous mutations simultaneously, far more efficiently than previous gene-editing methods that might succeed against a single mutation, but ...

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

Nature's oldest creatures defy aging rules. Greenland sharks live nearly 400 years. Ocean quahogs reach over 500 years.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal, the bowhead whale, revealing a mechanism that could potentially prolong the human lifespan ...

IN THE northernmost reaches of the globe, beneath thick sea ice, a bowhead whale can live for over two hundred years.These whales spend their winters in the depths of the ocean, coming up to breathe ...

The study highlights the importance of DNA repair systems in fertility and healthy development, and could pave the way for new research into reproductive disorders in humans ...

Brains with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) show DNA damage similar to Alzheimer’s. Study links genetic stress to ...

The RAD52-DNA complex is a dynamic guardian of genomic stability. When this balance falters, cells may either self-destruct or, worse, turn cancerous.

Bowhead whales can live over 200 years thanks to a protein that helps their cells repair DNA damage efficiently.

When melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) encounter significant DNA damage—particularly dangerous double-strand breaks, the stem ...

One of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment is chemoresistance: Tumors that initially respond well to chemotherapy ...
