The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and is often called the guardian of the genome. This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading to ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that certain p53 mutants hijack the DNA replication machinery ...

Women who consumed more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) showed distinct DNA methylation patterns, mostly reduced across key gene ...

Humans and bananas do share DNA, but not 70% as commonly claimed. Every living thing has a built-in instruction manual called ...

Long dismissed as evolutionary leftovers, segments of DNA once labeled “junk” may now offer a novel way to kill off deadly ...

The RAD52-DNA complex is a dynamic guardian of genomic stability. When this balance falters, cells may either self-destruct or, worse, turn cancerous.

A study reveals that a protein called RPA is essential for maintaining chromosome stability by stimulating telomerase. New findings from the-Madison suggest that problems with a key protein that helps ...
