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 ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the ...

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 ...
