In each cell of your body, DNA is stored in structures called chromosomes. When cells divide, these chromosomes are copied, ...

DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor DNA to healthy cells.

Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and ...

The discovery challenges the long-standing idea that early humans mainly evolved and survived in open grasslands, coasts, or other less demanding environments.

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long ...

Epigenetic aging clocks use DNA methylation patterns to measure biological age and predict health risks across human tissues.

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Methyleugenol is a component of essential oils and is found in basil, tarragon, nutmeg, and fennel. When ingested through ...
