A new study suggests that a group of cells, key for the health of blood and the immune system, are vulnerable to aging-like ...

A research team has discovered that accumulated DNA damage in the retina is a key contributor to age-related macular degeneration and that targeting specific retinal cell types may lead to treatments ...

Type 2 diabetes is characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia, which disrupts the balance between reactive oxygen species production and endogenous antioxidant defences. This oxidative stress leads to ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers identify the mechanisms through which double-stranded break (DSB)-induced compartment formation orchestrates the deoxyribonucleic acid ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.

Irvine, Calif., Dec. 3, 2024 – A research team co-led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered that accumulated DNA damage in the retina is a key contributor to age-related macular ...

New research has identified yet another way that spaceflight tampers with the human body. A study involving samples flown on four SpaceX resupply missions to the International Space Station has ...

Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...

A recent study published in Nutrition investigated whether muscle-building supplements are associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in individuals practicing resistance training. Resistance ...

A common supplement taken by millions of Americans could undo the damage caused by bad sleeping habits. Researchers analyzed the sleep patterns and levels of the sleep hormone melatonin in night-shift ...
