The Iñupiat people of Alaska have long said that bowhead whales live two human lifetimes. That oral knowledge turned out to be conservative.

Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

Bdelloid rotifers shrug off radiation doses that would obliterate human cells. Here’s how their resilience reveals deep ...

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

A protein found in bowhead whales, one of the longest-living mammals on Earth, could help improve how human cells repair DNA, according to new research from scientists at the Albert Einstein College ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have built CRISPR-GPT, a large language model designed to automate the full arc of gene-editing ...

A protein, TDP43, previously linked to dementia and ALS, has been found to control DNA repair. Researchers say abnormal ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...
