How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a ...

Cellular aging involves growth arrest and epigenetic alterations, offering insights into therapeutic approaches for enhancing longevity and healthspan.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...

By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome.

That DNA damage is particularly prominent in people who developed colorectal cancer at a younger age, researchers at the University of California San Diego said Wednesday.The new study sequenced ...
