The RAD52-DNA complex is a dynamic guardian of genomic stability. When this balance falters, cells may either self-destruct or, worse, turn cancerous.

These burrowing animals have a biological mechanism that does the opposite of what it does in humans: it repairs DNA instead of fracturing it.

"DNA sensor cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS) participates in regulating DNA double-strand break repair by suppressing the homologous recombination (HR) pathway, ...

Naked mole-rats are well known for both their wrinkly appearance and for their unexpectedly long lives. The source of this extended lifespan has been under scrutiny for decades. While many rodents are ...

Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division—a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according to ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

Is it the invasion of the genome snatchers? Just in case the idea of aliens walking around in human skin suits wasn’t frightening enough. An outlandish study asserts that aliens might have abducted us ...
