Data from a new study in mice connects unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA, to inflammation-linked premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The findings reveal a previously ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Here’s how extinct DNA could help us in the present—and the future. Yeah, we know—it’s not a dire wolf. In early 2025, the Texas biotech company Colossal Biosciences landed with a splash on the cover ...

Your next favorite true crime podcast might have some new forensics jargon to make sense of. Researchers in Australia have developed a new way to identify humans – similar to how we do with DNA and ...
