Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short—can lead to diseases such as ...

Scientists have made a leap in genetic engineering by pushing elephant cells into an embryonic-like state. This marks a major ...

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body ...

A new study in Cell reveals that species living miles beneath the ocean’s surface have independently evolved the same genetic ...

The cells' DNA has exciting implications for conservationists. Scientists make astonishing find inside animal droppings at ...

When exposed to antibiotics, approximately one out of every 10 8 -10 9 bacteria develops resistance due to spontaneous ...

we couldn’t see what was going on inside of a cell. Now, we’re viewing life from an entirely new perspective. DNA carries ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.

Some of those proteins are an important part of making sure the DNA is working right. Usually, it's a series of mutations in tumor suppressor genes and other genes that lead a cancer cell to form.

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

The film explores the evolution of multi-celled animals, particularly sponges ... was driven by the limitations of diffusion in larger cells, necessitating the formation of smaller, organized ...
