While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...
Dr. Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, MS, FASCO, is lead author of a paper in European Urology reporting on an analysis of specimens from the SWOG S1314 trial in localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer that ...
Validation of a 15-Gene Prognostic Signature in Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ...
Acquired DNA mutations found in the SERPINA1 gene can protect liver cells from damage in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, new research shows. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD) is a ...
Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
Many people lather up with sunscreen or cover up with hats to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays. These added layers help to shield the skin from ultraviolet (UV) light, which damages DNA ...
A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
