Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are driven by systemic inflammation, a natural biological response to harmful stimuli, injuries, or infections. C-reactive protein ...

A Florida State University College of Medicine researcher has made a discovery that alters our understanding of how the body’s DNA repair process works and may lead to new chemotherapy treatments for ...

Gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR, can cause unintended alterations in the genome which may be potentially dangerous. A multidisciplinary team of scientists led by Britt Adamson at Princeton ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

From cancer treatment to sunlight, radiation and toxins can severely damage DNA in both harmful and healthy cells. While the body has evolved to efficiently treat and restore damaged cells, the ...

Looking to learn more from genomics sequencing about DNA mutations and cancer, researchers applied a long-read approach to get a broader genomic view. Instead of just piecing together short bits of a ...

Curled up inside every single one of the trillions of cells in the human body is six feet of DNA, spooled tightly and carrying the genetic instructions that govern so much of who a person becomes.
