Bowhead whales can live over 200 years thanks to a protein that helps their cells repair DNA damage efficiently.

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 ...

An experimental compound reduced the cell death, inflammation, and organ damage seen with diabetes.

The truth is that around 80% of cancers are “sporadic”, meaning they are not caused by hereditary mutations but by external factors that damage DNA over time. This includes what we eat and breathe, as ...
