Some of the signs of aging in human cells originate in the cell nucleus, because the packaged form of DNA changes with age.

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

In a new study in mice published on Thursday in Science, researchers showed how skin cells inherit patterns of gene ...

CRISPR is a powerful DNA-editing tool that has underpinned huge advancements in human health care in the last decade. It is a ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Tokyo team built a neutral PEG-DNA complex that boosted gene expression in mouse muscle, avoiding cation-linked inflammation.

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- 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 ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...
