Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a microscopic DNA needle that can deliver molecules directly into cells—and, ...

How can cancer cells be targeted without damaging healthy tissue? This is one of the major challenges facing oncology today.

The integrity of DNA and RNA is essential for every cell. DNA contains the genetic information for proteins, while RNA serves ...

A team from UNIGE has designed a molecular system that distinguishes and neutralizes cancer cells with unprecedented ...

Our cells are usually frantically working to sustain life. Part of this work includes dividing, a process that creates more cells to support our growth when we are children or to replace old, worn-out ...

Aging does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly across years, touching cells long before symptoms appear.

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

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 ...
