Aluminum stress is an important factor limiting plant growth in acidic soil, and has significant effects on the growth, development and physiological metabolism of Mentha canadensis. However, the ...

In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

Combining long-read DNA sequencing with a predictive artificial intelligence model has provided new insights into DNA ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell ...

Nagayama, K. and Hirooka, Y. (2025) Changes in the Mechanical Environment of the Nucleus with Cell Crowding and Its Effects on DNA Damage Resistance. Journal of Biosciences and Medicines, 13, 230-242.

The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division – known as DNA replication – and ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

NASA's beleaguered Mars Sample Return program currently faces extreme costs of up to $11 billion and a timeline that could reach 2040. The year 2025 isn't even a week old and NASA is already ...

But how do these DNA tests work, and how can they tell if two people are related to each other? A genetic test typically involves submitting a saliva sample to a laboratory. Scientists then ...
