A new study published in Aging Cell reveals that a well-known enzyme, long known for its involvement with cancer, actually steps into the nucleus to help repair DNA. This enzyme is Protein Disulphide ...

Penn State researchers found that cancer-linked BRD4 can bind nucleosomes through both DNA contacts and recognition of ...

A new study reports that blue light triggers autophagy imbalance and defective DNA damage repair in keratinocytes by raising ...

As direct descendants of ancient bacteria, mitochondria have always been a little alien. Now a study shows that mitochondria are possibly even stranger than we thought. The study, titled "Somatic ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

A new study of Rosalind Franklin’s Photograph 49 says she suspected DNA’s helical shape and took her famous Photograph 51 to pin it down.

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before. Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...
