DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Maintaining mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity is crucial for cardiomyocyte function, and its disruption plays a significant role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer.

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

Herpesvirus infection may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease through transposable element activation and neuroinflammation.

DNA replication is the biological ... human cells suggests the role of this protein in maintaining the balance between mitochondrial transcription and replication.

“The DNA of Tel Aviv University is about providing open access for students to talk to people and ask questions. I think there is quite a lot of support there for people who want to try new things.

Scientists know that a build-up of specific proteins in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, by the time these proteins have become visible in brain scans, disease ...

The topics covered range from control of genome stability and chromatin to metabolic plasticity during healthy aging, characterisation of long-lived model animals and molecular lessons from ...

Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau ... segment of DNA with a GGGAGA ...
