Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division.

Australian scientists have discovered that DNA barcoding can be used to track cancer cells in solid and liquid biopsies, empowering future research into more reliable breast cancer diagnosis and ...

When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammation. A new chemical tool developed at UC Riverside ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...

In an eight-year study of more than 600 community-dwelling older adults, researchers say they have further linked levels of cell-free DNA (DNA fragments resulting from cell death) circulating in the ...

Traditional morphology failed to distinguish this new species from the oak carcina known since 1775. Researchers required genitalia dissection and 100 specimens to finally end over 200 years of ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...

Back in the 19 th century, as the US grappled with the aftermath of the Civil War, Jesse James, leader of a notorious gang of outlaws, rose to prominence. He robbed banks and trains for over a decade ...

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have discovered how mammalian cells prevent the gradual buildup of harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA, the small but vital genome that powers every cell. The ...
