Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

The formation of DNA adducts due to flavouring substances, particularly those derived from botanicals, has emerged as a critical area of toxicological research. Many naturally occurring compounds ...

(Top) Schematic diagram of the basic unit (Y-motif) of DNA condensates and their binding via sticky-end interaction. (Bottom) A schematic diagram illustrates how DNA condensate formation is regulated ...

We are exposed to ionizing radiation more often than we think: when we bathe in the sun, which emits UV rays, or when we get X-rayed. Even when we are travelling on an intercontinental flight, which ...

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

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

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

Tampa (BLOOM) – Understanding the intricate process of aging has been a subject of fascination for scientists and researchers. While aging is a natural part of life, recent studies have shed light on ...
