Once dismissed as “junk,” pieces of ancient viral DNA in our genome are now known to help control which genes are turned on or off.

Paleontology has just reached a major milestone with the discovery of intact proteins in fossils dating back to the Miocene. This breakthrough, published in Nature, is based on the analysis ...

The psychedelic psilocybin, found in magic mushrooms, slows certain hallmarks of aging in human cells and older mice, a lab study suggests.

The drug, which Repare recently sidelined, has shown promising activity in a patient with ALT-positive melanoma that researchers want to study in others.

Researchers focused on two key biological markers, the telomere length and cortisol levels. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences that protect chromosomes from damage during cell division and ...

TERRA R-loops interfere with semiconservative DNA replication, promoting telomere maintenance by a homology-directed repair (HDR) mechanism known as break-induced replication (BIR), which ensures ...

A new paper describes how scientists used the tool to identify an important role for TRIM24 in mediating telomere repair after cells divide.

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.
