If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

Macquarie University researchers have discovered a naturally occurring protein found in human cells plays a powerful role in repairing damaged DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic instructions ...

In order for heart and vascular cells to develop properly and remain healthy for a long time, many processes in the cells must interact precisely. A new study from the German Center for Cardiovascular ...

A chemical found in dark chocolate could slow the rate of biological aging. Research from King's College London has found that the chemical theobromine, a common plant compound that comes from cocoa, ...

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 ...

The failure of the repair enzyme SPRTN in these cultured cells leads to fatal errors in cell division, e.g. by distributing the chromosomes (red) to three daughter cell nuclei instead of two (arrow).

A combination of high-resolution imaging and machine learning, also known as artificial intelligence (AI), can track cells damaged from injury, aging, or disease, and that no longer grow and reproduce ...

In a recent paper published in Cell Reports, Saint Louis University researchers have uncovered new answers about why cells rapidly age in children with a rare and fatal disease. The data points to ...

This connection between cell metabolism and gene activity helps explain how heart cells grow, age, and sometimes get sick. The research was led by Professor Gergana Dobreva at the Mannheim Medical ...
