A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells could transform treatment for millions suffering from common chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

DNA contains genes that are turned on and off to produce cellular proteins that make our body function properly. If one parent's gene copy is missing, or if it contains a mistake, the other parent's ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors ... "If we can block this process, we could make Pol-theta-dependent cancers much more sensitive to treatment," says Zerio. Importantly, Pol ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine laboratory scientists say they have developed a potential new way to treat a variety of rare genetic diseases marked by too low levels of specific cellular proteins. To boost ...

In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific ...

The strangely adorable and resilient tardigrade, or water bear, just might hold the key to making cancer treatment a lot more (water-) bearable. That’s because a team of researchers just found ...

Genes control everything from hair color to blood sugar by telling cells which proteins to make, how much ... a cell is a long strand of the chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role ...

LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors ... “If we can block this process, we could make Pol-theta-dependent cancers much more sensitive to treatment,” says Zerio.
