New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point ...

A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a second, equally critical function, safeguarding the integrity of human DNA.

Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...
