For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies ...

Notably, inhibition of cGAS-STING from early development rescued mice from developmental lethality and premature aging caused ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle ...

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...

A new mouse study found that unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks activate inflammatory signaling pathways that trigger early aging disorders.
