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 ...

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

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

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ But when p53 mutates, it can flip from protector to promoter of cancer. Gene p53 is mutated in about 50% of ...

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