For patients with severe corneal injuries, blindness has often been seen as a life sentence. But a new eye stem cell transplant may change that. Scientists at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have ...
DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor ...
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...
NASA proposes to pioneer a radically new approach to mitigating radiation-induced cell damage in astronauts by transplanting new undamaged mitochondria (critical radiation-sensitive cell organelles) ...
Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA ...
The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the ...
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
Scientists have uncovered more than 20 genes whose mutations cause familial forms of Parkinson's disease. One of these genes is known as VPS13C, and mutations in this gene may contribute to the ...

Scientists just cracked why older cells quietly lose their energy — mitochondria drop the outer sacs that once protected them, and the rest of the cell goes with them
Every cell in your body runs on mitochondria, the tiny power plants that convert food into usable fuel. For decades, the ...
