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 tiny little powerhouses of our cells: mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny little genomes. This genetic material is separate from the rest of our genomic DNA ...

A research team from the University of California (UC), Irvine, has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. The ...

As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines are less effective. New research carried out by Dr. Loren Kell at NDORMS ...

Relationship Among DNA Damage Response Gene Alterations, Molecular Subtypes, and Survival Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Bladder Cancer Treated on CALGB 90601 Sequencing data from 56,965 ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

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 ...
