Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

The quest for longevity and vitality has captivated humanity for millennia, but only in recent decades has science begun to unravel the biological mechanisms underlying ageing. Today’s anti-ageing ...

The Greenland shark is thought to live for about 400 years but somehow its eyes appear to barely deteriorate, according to a ...

When brain cells die in diseases like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and frontotemporal dementia, they often activate a ...

Scientists discovered that aging DNA repeats expand at wildly different speeds—and in some people, the consequences can be devastating. A sweeping genetic study drawing on data from more than 900,000 ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...
