An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...

The Summit supercomputer revealed how damaged strands of DNA are surgically repaired by a molecular pathway called nucleotide excision repair, or NER. NER’s protein components can change shape to ...

A team of researchers from the Andalusian Centre for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) and the University ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune defenses primed. Now researchers have identified a previously unknown form of ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have solved a big mystery in cancer research—why cells die in ...
