Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

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 ...

HOUSTON, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Direct Digital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRCT) ("Direct Digital Holdings" or the "Company"), a leading advertising and marketing technology platform operating ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

Medical scientist Eduardo Marbán – then at Johns Hopkins and now Cedars-Sinai – found that heart progenitor cells also have a special mechanism where they send out sacs, known as exosomes, which carry ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Scientists may have found a new way to protect memory from the inside out. In a recent study, boosting a natural molecule helped animals with Alzheimer’s-like symptoms remember better – and corrected ...

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...
