A new study suggests melatonin supplements may help night shift workers boost their body's DNA repair processes, potentially offsetting some of the damage linked to working overnight. The findings are ...

Methyleugenol is a component of essential oils and is found in basil, tarragon, nutmeg, and fennel. When ingested through food, it can be converted in the liver into a reactive form that induces ...

In everyday life, our genetic material is constantly under attack from many factors. Environmental influences such as light, along with internal processes like inflammation, can generate oxidative ...

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 ...

For decades, oncologists have watched a frustrating pattern repeat itself. Tumors fueled by the MYC protein, one of the most ...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. Junjiu Huang from Sun Yat-sen University, in collaboration with Prof. Fenghua Liu’s team at Guangdong Women and Children Hospital, published a study titled ...

The discovery challenges the long-standing idea that early humans mainly evolved and survived in open grasslands, coasts, or ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
