Scientists discovered four protein changes that help naked mole rats repair DNA faster. These small tweaks may explain their ...

The secret to the naked mole-rats’ extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers report. According to a new study, evolutionary mutations in cGAS – an ...

The findings offer potential insights into why naked mole-rats exhibit remarkable resistance to a wide spectrum of ...

A new study in fruit flies describes how an animal's gut reacts differently to beneficial microbes versus harmful pathogens.

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as motor neuron disease (MND).

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Scientists have made a major discovery about how cells repair broken strands of DNA that could have huge implications for the treatment of cancer. Their study, published in Nature today (Wednesday), ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

This came up in a front page discussion recently, and I promised I'd do a bit of a brain dump. The motivation: people often talk about whether we're regulating the risks posed by exposure to radiation ...

A new study uncovers how working at 35,000 feet may disrupt DNA repair and immune function in flight attendants, offering fresh insights into the health risks faced by cabin crews and the urgent need ...
