A growing body of research suggests that three popular anti-aging supplements — NMN, resveratrol, and high-dose folic acid — may be supercharging cancer cell growth through a mechanism called ...

The process of aging, and how to stop it, has long puzzled scientists. However, in a new study, published in the journal EMBO Reports, researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University in ...

The human genome is contained within the nucleus of cells. The genome is well protected, but many things can cause DNA damage, including aging, some drugs, and environmental factors like UV rays or ...

Researchers decode repair mechanism during transcription of genetic information. Cockayne syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by defective DNA repair mechanisms. People with the ...

A recent study published in EMBO Reports by researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University sheds light on a fundamental process within cells-microautophagy-that plays a crucial role in ...

Cellular findings show Telomir-Zn modulates intracellular metal balance linked to oxidative stress, mitochondrial ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria – the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short – can lead to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cardiovascular ...

A team at Harvard Medical School has identified a novel mechanism of DNA repair that occurs exclusively in neurons, which are some of the longest-lived cells in the body. The research, conducted in ...
