A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

Deep beneath the shifting sea ice of the Arctic Ocean, a massive marine mammal moves slowly through waters that remain near ...

A protein, TDP43, previously linked to dementia and ALS, has been found to control DNA repair. Researchers say abnormal ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...

Stanford Medicine pediatric hematologist Agnieszka Czechowicz, MD, Ph.D., has devoted her research career to improving ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Researchers at Houston Methodist have discovered that a protein tied to neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also helps control a critical DNA repair ...
