A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

Most of the cells in our body carry the genome, and those cells are constantly bombarded with environmental influences including UV rays, pollution, alcohol, and other exposures that can damage the ...

RNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a "therapeutic agent," but a technology that delivers the ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...
