Genetic tweaks allowed early humans to stand, balance and walk on two legs instead of moving on all fours like other primates, according to researchers.

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

Scientists have discovered a tardigrade protein, Dsup, that protects DNA from damage and may enhance human cellular resilience under extreme stress conditions.

They found that several common cancers in the United States are heavily linked to things people do in their daily lives. Skin cancers—like melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell ...

It involves taking a sample from the environment and extracting the DNA to document the species that are (or were recently) present. Just like matching barcodes to an item’s price at the supermarket, ...

If a similar mechanism occurs in bTB-infected cattle, it could explain why some infected animals go undetected with the current tests. If key immune genes are epigenetically silenced, those animals ...

An artificial intelligence model predicts how brain immune cells react to RNA and DNA nanoparticles, helping scientists design safer and more effective nucleic acid therapies faster.
