For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...
If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...
A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...
Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...
In a groundbreaking advancement for cancer treatment, a research team led by Professor Xiang David Li from the Department of Chemistry at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has made significant strides ...
