Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that helps protect the brain function of animals that live in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments. This mutation has provided new insights into how ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or external stressors such as radiation or chemical ...

Conceptual illustration showing how high transcriptional activity driven by super-enhancers can lead to DNA breaks at oncogenes. When these breaks are repaired inaccurately, they can give rise to ...

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Irvine associate professor of physiology and biophysics, ...

CSIR UGC NET December 2025 answer key: The National Testing Agency has conducted the CSIR UGC NET December 2025 examination for candidates seeking eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship and ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

A new fluorescent sensor lets scientists track DNA damage and repair in real time inside living cells, advancing cancer research, drug testing and ageing biology. (Nanowerk News) Cancer research, drug ...

Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...

Naked mole-rats are well known for both their wrinkly appearance and for their unexpectedly long lives. The source of this extended lifespan has been under scrutiny for decades. While many rodents are ...
