When astronauts venture into space, a remarkable phenomenon occurs: the activation of the “dark genome” within their DNA. This discovery unveils previously unknown genetic expressions, offering new ...

A new research paper titled "Sirtuin 6 activation rescues the age-related decline in DNA damage repair in primary human chondrocytes" has been published in Aging. While advanced age is widely ...

Most of our genome is often written off as “junk DNA”, meaning it doesn’t encode for genes that get made into proteins. This so-called junk consists of accumulated DNA elements like viral DNA that got ...

The mammalian liver has an extraordinary regenerative capacity, capable of fully restoring its mass and function after injury or partial resection. A study led by researchers at the University of ...

New research from a team of genome scientists and DNA damage response experts breaks new ground in understanding the function of a protein currently limited in clinical trials for cancer treatments.
