Translation factors eIF1A and eIF5B are key repressors of an abnormal protein translation process linked to neurodegenerative ...

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.

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

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 ...

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

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 major US study reveals that marijuana use leaves measurable chemical traces in DNA, altering genes related to mental health ...

Experiments on yeast show that the nuclear pore complex has a central role in the loss of chromosomes associated with aging.
