As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Objectives Understanding the molecular changes in the preclinical synovium is crucial for identifying factors that drive ...

Scientists manufacture many biotherapeutic products in immortalized cell lines, most commonly HEK293. Residual HEK293 DNA in biotherapeutic candidates can harbor tumorigenic or retroviral sequences ...

Reporting in Nature, scientists have identified a novel process that protects the ends of chromosomes from incorrectly applied DNA repair. Although DNA repair is a crucial mechanism that can protect a ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy found that ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

Precision DNA editing gene therapy achieves deep remissions in aggressive leukemia previously considered incurable.

Fears about cell phones causing cancer persist despite scientific evidence to the contrary, with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announcing a new investigation. Here’s what we know.
