Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA using a genetic tool known as a base editor. The ...

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 ...

Clinical and prognostic characteristics of early onset metastatic pancreatic cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. This abstract does not ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...
