A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...

Two new studies from Johns Hopkins University are providing scientists with an unprecedented view of how human cells repair one of the most dangerous forms of genetic damage: a break that severs both ...

At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...

Learn how DNA can be exchanged between two cells that connect by forming nanotubes, and find out why this is crucial for cancer research. When cells in our body are going through a rough patch due to ...

Across every cell in the body, molecules are constantly pulling, gripping and releasing under mechanical strain. That force ...

Activated immune cells secrete tiny capsules bearing DNA that can enter other immune and tumor cells to stimulate the body's defense systems, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell ...

Some genetic variation in sperm may begin earlier in development than scientists previously recognized. New evidence suggests ...

Sucralose, the artificial sweetener used in Splenda, came under scrutiny after a study found that a related chemical damaged ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Researchers found that genome-wide plasma cfDNA methylation profiles collected before diagnosis contained early molecular ...
