The process of aging, and how to stop it, has long puzzled scientists. However, in a new study, published in the journal EMBO Reports, researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University in ...

The human genome is contained within the nucleus of cells. The genome is well protected, but many things can cause DNA damage, including aging, some drugs, and environmental factors like UV rays or ...

Researchers decode repair mechanism during transcription of genetic information. Cockayne syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by defective DNA repair mechanisms. People with the ...

Trp, studied under names such as Thymogen or Thymagen, represents a short peptide bioregulator derived from the ...

A recent study published in EMBO Reports by researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University sheds light on a fundamental process within cells-microautophagy-that plays a crucial role in ...

Over the last two decades, scientific attention has increasingly shifted toward understanding how cellular energy system ...

A team of scientists led by the National Cancer Center Singapore (NCCS) and Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS) has found a new approach for treating some of the world's most aggressive cancers ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria – the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short – can lead to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cardiovascular ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are single-stranded molecules that play an essential role in the cells of all living organisms. As "transcripts" of our genes, mRNAs, for example, are involved in the ...
